Owner of Canadian Team Confronts Connor Bedard After Social Media Storm

Connor Bedard has gotten caught up in a bunch of social media rumors and now an owner of a Canadian franchise has spoken with Bedard about it.

Over the past week, Corey Perry was placed on unconditional waivers and had his contract terminated by the Blackhawks. While the truth about what truly went down is still unknown to the public, there was a rumor circulating on social media that involved Perry and the Bedard family.

When the Hawks headed up to Winnipeg, a member of the media asked Bedard a tone-deaf question regarding the rumor.

Many have reprimanded the reporter for asking this question and now the Jets' owner has gotten involved.

Following this encounter, the Winnipeg Jets owner got onto the Chicago Blackhawks' team bus and apologized to Bedard face to face.

Now that Bedard has commented on the rumors, hopefully, nobody else will ask a question about it because it has been deemed false.
