The Canucks, aware of this unique connection, decided to have a bit of good-natured fun ahead of the matchup.
The Canucks shared a series of photos showcasing their fans enjoying themselves at the United Center in Chicago. The fourth and final photo cleverly included Bedard himself, playfully referencing his childhood support for the Canucks.
While Bedard may have grown up cheering for the Vancouver Canucks, this adds an interesting twist to the game, as the young Blackhawks star is likely to be extra motivated to secure a win against his hometown team today.
