Connor Bedard Enters Exclusive Memorabilia Partnership with Fanatics

Fanatics, the leading global digital sports platform specializing in licensed sports merchandise and memorabilia, has announced an exclusive multi-year partnership with Chicago Blackhawks sensation Connor Bedard. This agreement positions Fanatics as the sole distributor of Bedard's officially licensed memorabilia and collectibles through its division, Fanatics Authentic.

As part of the deal, fans will gain exclusive access to a wide array of highly sought-after Bedard items. The collection includes authentic jerseys, pucks, sticks, helmets, gloves, and photographs, as well as a unique selection of game-used equipment from his performances with the Blackhawks, All-Star Games, and other major events.

"I'm thrilled to partner with Fanatics and join their amazing team of athletes across various sports," Bedard said. "It's been fantastic getting to know them and seeing the effort they put into creating special memorabilia for fans. With the season starting, I'm excited to share what we've been working on together."

Widely recognized as one of hockey's most promising talents, Bedard was the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft after an exceptional career in the Western Hockey League, where he amassed 143 points in just 57 games with the Regina Pats during his final season. In his debut professional season with the Blackhawks in 2023-24, Bedard led all rookies in goals (22) and points (61), earning the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's top rookie.

"Connor Bedard is one of the NHL's rising stars, and we're excited to welcome him to the Fanatics family," said Victor Shaffer, Executive Vice President at Fanatics. "After an outstanding rookie season, he's quickly become a fan favorite. We're eager to provide hockey fans with unparalleled access to a premier selection of his autographs, collectibles, and game-worn products."

Bedard joins an illustrious lineup of athletes with exclusive memorabilia partnerships with Fanatics Authentic, including Tom Brady, Auston Matthews, Alex Ovechkin, Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Sabrina Ionescu, Harry Kane, and Victor Wembanyama.

Fans can explore the full range of Bedard products across the Fanatics network of e-commerce sites, including Fanatics.com, NHLShop.com, and the Chicago Blackhawks' official online store at Shop.NHL.com/Chicago-Blackhawks.
