Tab Bamford, 'The Future: Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks' New Era'

Join us in-store at the Book Cellar to celebrate the launch of Tab Bamford's latest, The Future: Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks' New Era!

ABOUT THE BOOK:
When the Chicago Blackhawks selected Connor Bedard with the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft, it was the culmination of months—if not years—of unrestrained hype. For the Original Six franchise, nearly a decade removed from a dynastic run of Stanley Cup successes, Bedard represented nothing less than the foundation for future glory. The 17-year-old centre from North Vancouver had long been projected as a generational talent, tearing up the junior-level WHL and garnering comparisons to Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. Now, it was time to compete head-to-head with those superstars and step into the lofty prophecies others had written for him. Through extensive reporting in Chicago and beyond, Tab Bamford chronicles one of the most highly anticipated rookie seasons in modern hockey, following Bedard's Calder Trophy campaign on the ice and the pressurized environment that lingered off it. Encompassing exalted expectations, untimely injuries, countless highlight-reel goals, and the fevered, omnipresent media landscape, Bedard's inaugural season provides a thrilling and expansive portrait of today's NHL.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Tab Bamford has been writing about the Chicago Blackhawks for almost two decades and is currently the lead Blackhawks writer for Bleacher Nation. He is a member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association and is the author of two books about the Blackhawks: 100 Things Blackhawks Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die (Triumph Books) and Chicago Blackhawks: An Illustrated Timeline (Reedy Press).
