The age difference is nothing major between them, same age, same league, thats a fact!
Also fact, McKenna is scoring more goals and points what Bedard did, in the same league.
Also, he is already taller now at 15 what Bedard is now at 17, though not that it matters to me but, just wanted to point that out.
I have read two experts speculate that
McKenna might be the next McDavid, so
he would be above Bedard level.
Also, braking the CWG point and goal record, is not a small feat, you can say all what you want about competition level,
but fact is, that he did it.
Scored 1 goal, 2 assists in his final game.
Holy crap you lack so much context it makes my brain hurt. You speak with so much confidence but what you’re saying is so wrong and misrepresented it’s crazy.
First off:
What McKenna is doing in the CSSHL this year is impressive, no doubt. But it can’t be compared to Bedard’s season because Bedard put up his totals as a U15 player, where as McKenna is a U16 player this season.
Here is what the U15 scoring leaders look like in the history of the CSSHL, if you notice, McKenna is listed here - but that was his LAST seasons totals and he falls JUST short of Bedard.
If you didn‘t know - when playing hockey in most countries growing up, you play with and against kids that are born in the same year as yourself - doesn’t matter if you were born in January or December, you play against kids born in the same year as yourself - so in McKenna’s case this would be with and against kids born in 2007.
I would just like to point out that there is some statistics you can compare at the same age and it is Bedard‘s and McKenna‘s WHL totals. But it doesn’t fit the narrative you‘re so convinced to push so not a peep about it from you.
Connor Bedard had 28 points in 15 games in the WHL at the same age McKenna’s has 8 points in 11 games.
As has been stated many times in this thread - McKenna was playing completion at the CWG that couldn’t hold his jockstrap - there is good reason why he put up the totals he did, McKenna is an Uber talented kid, playing in the worst division in the Canada Winter Games, against kids who will never see junior B. Honestly, If I would have been surprised if he didn’t break the record - if I knew what it was coming into the tournament.
