As reported by Claire Hanna of CTV Regina, Regina Pats’ first overall selection in the 2020 WHL Draft, Connor Bedard is expected to train and practice with the BCHL’s West Kelowna Warriors.
Another report states that the West Kelowna Warriors will be in violation of ViaSports’ rules as Bedard is not signed by the Warriors. This technically means he should not be allowed to skate for any of the teams in the BCHL unless he signs a BCHL contract.
