BREAKING: Bedard Faces Fine by the League

Recently, the NHL updated its regulations to ensure newcomers wear their helmets during warmups. This change was prompted by concerns from GMs over rising injuries from stray pucks and sticks.

Yet, Connor Bedard chose to disregard this adjustment and took to the ice helmet-free.

Traditionally, NHL rookies relish their initial warmup session without helmets. It seems Bedard was no different, prioritizing tradition over the new rule. This decision will lighten his wallet by a few thousand dollars, but for the budding star, it might have been worth the statement.
