Bear looking for fresh start following Oilers’ trade with Carolina Hurricanes
Ethan Bear is even more keen for his next hockey season to commence.
The 24-year-old defenceman, a Cree from Ochapowace Nation in Saskatchewan, will no longer be suiting up for the Edmonton Oilers.
That’s because the National Hockey League squad traded Bear this past week to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Warren Foegele.
“I’m really excited for this fresh start,” Bear said in his Hurricanes’ introductory press conference. “I’m excited. I want to work hard. And honestly just prove myself again.”
