The Chicago Blackhawks first-overall pick in the last NHL draft has made league history once again. Connor Bedard has taken a title in the record books after being named to the All-Star Game/Weekend.
At 18-years-old and 171 days, Bedard is the youngest player ever to take part in the All-Star festivities. Bedard beats out previous holder Jeff Skinner of the Buffalo Sabres, who was 18 and 259 days when he took part in the All-Star game for the Carolina Hurricanes in 2011.

Among other records so far, Bedard has already become the youngest player in the Chicago Blackhawks' long history to record a multi-point game.

I'm sure there will be many more of these types of records to come for Bedard as his NHL career is just getting underway.
