Connor Bedard's mother shares disturbing information about how far fans are going to meet her son
Connor Bedard is the most hyped prospect since Connor McDavid. The young center has all the makings of a superstar player who will have the ability to completely turn around a franchise. With that comes a certain amount of fan fare.
Unfortunately some fans have gone way too far to try and meet Bedard. Recently Connor's mother shares the following information with TVA Sports about what the family is going through.
There are very often people surrounding our house and waiting outside, then they photograph us as soon as we step outside. One day, someone even came through the back of our property, accessed the yard, and started screaming for Connor. And I would say that all this happens more frequently since the last Junior World Championship.
Recently, I had to turn off my cell phone for about ten days because I was receiving too many messages. It was uncontrollable! I've never been used to that, you know? And it's now almost impossible to go to the grocery store or the mall with Connor without being recognized.
While the majority of fans are kind, the fans entering Bedard's backyard are certainly concerning. With his fame comes obvious attention, but you have to worry about the young players privacy.
