The NHL media is encountering criticism after revealing a contentious new feature centered around rookie standout Connor Bedard.
NBC Sports has unveiled its intention to implement a specialized game camera solely focused on Bedard for the entirety of upcoming Blackhawks' games.
This decision has sparked concern and received disapproval, especially given the extensive media coverage Bedard has already received at just 18 years old.
Detractors contend that having a camera exclusively on Bedard throughout the game is excessive and adds to the already substantial media scrutiny surrounding the young athlete.
The exclusive camera coverage is scheduled to begin during the game on NBC Sports Chicago PLUS, sparking conversations regarding media boundaries and the possible effects on the young player's journey in the league.
