A bear interrupted a photoshoot involving a hockey mascot in a surprising turn of events yesterday in a local park in the town of Maplewood. The incident occurred around noon when the mascot, known as “Puckster,” was posing for pictures as part of a promotional event for the upcoming hockey season.
Eyewitnesses reported that a bear suddenly appeared from the nearby woods and started to chase the mascot around the park. The bear seemed particularly interested in the mascot’s oversized hockey stick and was seen playfully swatting at it during the pursuit.
Authorities were quickly notified, and they arrived at the scene within minutes. They managed to safely scare the bear away using loud noises and did not report any injuries to either the mascot or the bear.
The park ranger, who preferred to remain anonymous, stated that encounters between bears and humans are not uncommon in the area, especially during the fall season when bears are actively searching for food before hibernation.
Puckster, the hockey mascot, joked after the incident, saying, “I guess even bears appreciate a good game of hockey! But next time, I hope it’s the fans chasing me for autographs, not the wildlife.”
The photoshoot was eventually completed later in the day without any further interruptions.
