It’s also the first time the CHL has named a Third All-Star team since the end of the 2002-03 season.

Bedard was named to the CHL first all-star team, Svozil was announced as a member of the third all-star team while Suzdalev was selected as a member of the All-Rookie team.

The 17-year-old will likely be selected as the number one pick of the 2023 NHL Draft later this month in Nashville. This past season, he led the WHL in goals (71) and points (143), and was tied for the lead in assists (72).

The Columbus Blue Jackets prospect finished the top-3 in numerous categories among WHL defencemen. He ranked first in power play assists (36), second in assists (67), second in points per-game (1.39), and third in points (78), all while playing in just 56 games.

Svozil made his debut with the Blue Jackets on April 13 against the Pittsburgh Penguins and registered an assist to collect his first-career NHL point.

The 19-year-old led all WHL rookies in goals (38), assists (48), points (86), power play goals (17), and power play assists (19), and was tied for first in points per-game (1.30).
