Being a mascot just isn’t for the faint of coronary heart. Between stunts and interactions with most of the people (together with “well-hydrated” and opposing followers), they usually discover themselves in precarious positions, however Seattle Kraken mascot Buoy expertise a distinct degree of hazard on a latest fishing journey with ahead John Hayden.

Final weekend, Buoy’s official social media account posted a video of him fishing with Hayden in what was purported to be a lightweight piece of offseason content material for the followers. As a substitute, it changed into an episode of “Man vs. Wild.”

Buoy and Hayden, together with the opposite members of the Kraken’s digital content material crew, had been ready on a chunk once they virtually turned the chunk. Two bears, presumably Bruins coming to go to through the summer time, emerged from the woods and started to pursue them within the water.

The bears bought dangerously near Buoy, Hayden and the Kraken workers, and one among them even started to cost the mascot. Being the skilled mascot that he’s, Buoy did not lose his head, and the animals gave up their pursuit as everybody bought away safely.

Now, within the modern-day and age of social media, it is honest to wonder if such an unbelievable video is actual. Nevertheless, CBS Sports activities has acquired affirmation from the crew that the bears (and the chase) had been each actual and unscripted.

There aren’t any scarcity of untamed and zany mascot movies on the web (thanks, Gritty), however few have ever matched the heart-pounding nature of Buoy’s shut name.
