"I was thinking this guy is crazy and I hope nothing happens to him. I'm not sure what was going through his mind to be honest, because the last thing you would think about is somebody would actually walk toward a bear."
I don't know why I was not scared. I don't know this. I said my scare part of my brain is not well developed or something. No, I wasn't scared. It didn't taint me because I didn't see it inside my house. It's very interesting that it was in my kitchen. It was more interesting than scary.
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.
