The encounter with the bear occurred as Seattle Kraken forward John Hayden and mascot Buoy were fly-fishing in Katmai National Park for a promotional video. During the shoot, a brown bear approached the river where they were fishing, causing a tense moment for the group. The guide alerted Hayden about the bear, who was initially unfazed until the bear began running towards Buoy, prompting them to retreat further. Fortunately, the bear changed direction and the situation ended without incident.
