Travis Kelce has expressed a desire to jump on the ice to take on the punches of Connor Bedard, and that unlikely meeting could potentially happen as the Chicago Blackhawks rookie player likes the idea.
The popular Kansas City Chiefs tight end recently mentioned on his New Heights podcast that he would like to practice with the Hawks and possibly put on goalie gear. Other footballers like Rob Gronkowski have done this in the past.

“That would be cool. Obviously he's a Chicago fan, so that's pretty good. You see guys like Gronkowski and I think JJ Watt did something with the team too. I might try to show him how to play hockey “Bedard told NHL.com on Thursday.
The 18-year-old also didn't seem too offended that Kelce had trouble saying his name. After trying out “Bednard” and “Bendard,” Taylor Swift's boyfriend chose “Bedsy.”
“I saw that. A couple of guys showed me that he couldn't pronounce my name. “I think he got it just right the other day,” someone said. It's funny to see how much trouble he's having,” said he.
We bet Kelce will end up calling him Mr. Bedard after seeing the quality of his litter from a privileged perspective.
