Chicago Blackhawks phenom Connor Bedard has officially sent a message to Fraser Minten.

Minten Named Captain Of Team Canada

Yesterday, Team Canada announced their leadership group for the upcoming World Junior Championships, and Fraser Minten, the Maple Leafs top prospect, was named the captain of the team.

Minten impressed Canada's management enough to be named the captain despite this being his first year at the World Juniors.

Bedard Sends A Message To Minten

After the news of Minten being named the captain was announced, Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard sent a public message to Minten congratulating him.

Bedard and Minten have been friends for a while now dating back to when the two were teammates at the West Van Academy Prep. Bedard, despite being eligible for the WJC, will sit back at home and watch as his former teammate will try and lead Canada to its third consecutive gold medal.
