Seattle Kraken center John Hayden and their mascot, Buoy, had a close encounter with a brown bear during a promotional video shoot in Alaska in June.

Hayden and Buoy were on a fly-fishing outing in Katmai National Park when the bear approached them.

While fishing, Hayden and Buoy were accompanied by a guide, who spotted the bear. The guide had the crew wade through the shallow river.

As they were moving away, the bear, which had been moving closer to them, turned and charged through the water for a few paces before coming to a stop and turning away.

"I want to blame it on Buoy," Hayden said on the video afterward. "They were pretty interested in his look."
