The team’s mascot Bouy was in the water near Brooks River in Alaska’s Katmai National Park back in June when a brown bear took a bit too much interest in what was going on, KIRO reported.

Kraken forward John Hayden and Buoy, the team’s blue-haired troll mascot, had a close call with a grizzly bear during a promotional video shoot in Alaska.
