“Getting to know their group and learn about all the work they put into creating really special memorabilia for fans has been awesome. As the season gets underway, I’m looking forward to sharing what we are releasing together,” he said. 

Under this deal, Fanatics is now the sole distributor of Bedard’s officially licensed memorabilia and collectibles, which are highly sought. Everything from authentic jerseys, to gloves, sticks, pucks and photos will all be marketed through Fanatics. 

Fanatics will also have game-used equipment from Blackhawks contests, All-Star Games and more.

“Connor Bedard is one of the NHL’s emerging superstars, and Fanatics is thrilled to welcome him to our team,” Fanatics Executive Vice President Victor Shaffer said in a statement. 

“After a stellar rookie season, he has quickly become a fan favorite, and we look forward to providing hockey fans everywhere with unprecedented access to a premier assortment of his autographs, collectibles and game-worn products.”

Along with the announcement, Fanatics Authentic dropped a post on X that showed Bedard signing pucks, jerseys and more, which hockey fans can now buy. 

Bedard has unquestionable talent, breaking out as an 18-year-old stud for Chicago last season. Over 68 games, he had 22 goals and 39 assists for 61 points. 

With Bedard’s career trajectory expected to rise as he gets more acclimated to the league, his memorabilia could be worth a lot one day, making it a hot commodity for collectors and fans.
