From 1990 to 1993, Bednar was a junior hockey player with the Western Hockey League’s Saskatoon Blades and Spokane Chiefs. He also played with the Medicine Hat Tigers and Prince Albert Raiders. In 152 games, Bednar received 520 combined penalty minutes. This helped him establish himself as a physically skilled player. After being undrafted by the NHL in 1990, Bednar played his professional debut with the East Coast Hockey League’s Huntington Blizzard (ECHL) during the 1993-94 season. The team gave him three seasons and he posted a career-high in points with the Huntington Blizzard of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) season 1994-95, when he scored 45 points in 64 games.
Halfway through the 1995-96 ECHL season, Bednar was signed to the South Carolina Stingrays. He posted 24 points and 126 penalties minutes in his 39 first games. He played mainly with the Stingrays from 1995 to 1998. There were brief stints in AHL with the St. John’s Maple Leafs or Rochester Americans. He was a member of the Grand Rapids Griffins, International Hockey League (IHL) in 1998-1999. He scored 21 points and 220 PIMS in 71 games. Bednar was re-joined by the Stingrays in 1999-2000 and played two more seasons for the Rays. After the 2001-02 season, he announced his retirement.
On August 25, 2016, Bednar was named head coach of the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL). Bednar’s first season as an NHL coach was not successful. Due to the timing of his hiring–less than a month before training camp–he did not have nearly enough time to implement his own system. He also did not have enough time to hire his own staff, and had to make do with holdovers from his predecessor, Patrick Roy. Despite having talented players, such as Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Matt Duchene on the roster, the team regressed considerably and finished with only 48 points, the worst record in the league and the worst since the team moved from Quebec City in 1995.
