Seattle (AP)-Seattle Kraken Forward John Hayden and the Blue-Hairy Drommascotte of the team had a close call with a grizzly bear during a promotional video shoot in Alaska.
Hayden and the mascot named Buoy were on a Flyfishing outing in Katmai National Park as part of a journey that Jeugdhockey promoted when the bear approached by the team shows. Knee-Diep in a shallow river, they wore waders and other fly fishing equipment. Hayden was fished, but a guide quickly took the bar away from him.
The bear stormed to the mascot, splashing water, but turned off before he made contact while Hayden, buoy and the film team walked back to the coast, wading through the soft stream.
The NHL team said it was not going to involve the bear in filming, but recorded it in a video placed on X.
Grizzlies often party on salmon in the river near Brooks in the park. Organizers had hired guides for safety.
“Bears are everywhere in Brooks Falls and, like, this is their territory,” said Melissa O “They are also super used to seeing people. So I wasn’t afraid.”
A troll was perhaps a different story.

“I want to blame Boei,” Hayden then said on the video. “They were pretty interested in his look.”
The Run-in with the Grizzly took place on 25 June as part of an annual trip organized by the Native Corporation of Bristol Bay in Anchorage, Alaska, with events that promote youth ice hockey. Alaska does not have its own NHL team; The nearest teams are in Seattle and Vancouver, Canada.
