Connor Bedard surpasses Wayne Gretzky

It's no surprise to anyone that Connor Bedard is an exceptional player. But to see him score four goals against Austria on Tuesday night is pretty amazing what this kid can create on the ice.

Imagine, he started the tournament as the 13th forward.

Guess what, yesterday Bedard became the first player in history to score four goals before turning 17. He also became the sixth Canadian player in history to achieve that mark.

''It's 6-1 Canada after two periods in Edmonton vs Austria

Connor Bedard became the 2nd 16 year old in history to score 3 goals in a #WorldJunior game after Wayne Gretzky did it twice in 1978''
