The tales of Connor Bedard's dedication to hockey are as inspiring as they come. His days are consumed by the rhythmic thud of a puck hitting the net, come rain, shine, or snow. His love for the game is evident in the way he lives it, day in and day out. But, a recent episode on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast brought to light a story that further underscores his unparalleled commitment. Picture this: a family vacation in the sunny paradise of Hawaii. Bedard agrees to join, but there's a catch. His hockey bag has to come along. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1656766074757554176?t=QwnMndZewo4rEy7m1gAa9A&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> Yes, you read that right! Even amidst the palm trees and sandy beaches of one of the most tropical destinations on the globe, Bedard couldn't bear to part ways with his routine of shooting pucks. Now, if that's not devotion to the game, I don't know what is! That is mamba mentality right there, and it'll be in the NHL very soon.
