Connor Bedard was forced to answer some unfortunate questions during his stint in Winnipeg when the Blackhawks played the Jets. Unfortunately, this was coming off the peak of Corey Perry's contract termination, and the height of the rumours surrounding Perry and Bedard's family.
Even though both the Blackhawks' GM Kyle Davidson and Corey Perry himself, denied the allegations that the incident involved a teammate's family member, media members in Winnipeg continued to ask Bedard about it.
Bedard handled the questions with class and maturity much beyond his years, and he shouldn't have even had to answer this line of questioning.
Now, it has been reported that the Winnipeg Jets Owner boarded the Blackhawks bus after the game to issue an apology to Bedard for the questioning.
This was the right thing for the Jets owner to do, as this sort of questioning from the Media shouldn't be tolerated. Now, hopefully, the situation won't require any more questions so that Bedard and his family can move on.
