Darrell Davis writes on how Connor Bedard became first Regina Pats player to be drafted No. 1 since Doug Wickenheiser in 1980.
Wickenheiser was like that, too, used to being in the spotlight but uncomfortable when it shone on his 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame. He would look away whenever someone praised his talents, honestly answering the questions while making sure to praise others.
The Canadiens opened their 1980-81 NHL season at home against the Blackhawks. Montreal coach Claude Ruel, unimpressed with Wickenheiser’s defensive commitment, dispatched his young centre to the press box from where he watched Savard record three assists in a 5-4 Chicago victory.Article content Wickenheiser died of cancer in 1999. He was 37, unflinching, empathetic, the appreciative father of three daughters, his supportive wife and a heartbroken family. The outpouring of love from friends and teammates, especially in St. Louis and Regina, reminded everyone it was more important to be a good person than a great athlete.Advertisement 5The latest first-rounder was Sam Steel in 2016. In 1974, Greg Joly was the first of the Pats’ three first overall choices.
