Bidart is the seventh 16-year-old to be inducted into the youth national team in 45 years, joining the likes of Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby.

“It’s great to hear your name, if not the best you’ve ever played,” Bedard said. “This is a game. I don’t think he got 2,800 points in the National Hockey League. It’s great to hear your name. It’s good, but we have a long way to go in this tournament.”
