How would you get a bears paws into a pair of hockey skates...

[Bmplam 1]

Apparently thats easier than getting his head into a helmet.

Is that really a freaking bear ? If so, Wow! I hope he doesn't go all Siegfried and Roy white tiger on them...

[Reaper 0]

Damn, there's even a bear that's a better hockey player than me...

[Doctor Hook 0]

Faker than Pamela Anderson's lady humps.

My god.

That bear is like "fuck this over sized puck, give me a juicy arm or some shit!"

(but really, it's def fake)

I'll put him on my Rangers over Hollweg. Imagine the body checks....

The contract terms need to be thought of very carefully however..

My Dad told me that russian circuses had this kinda attraction, but it was good to see it at last for real. I wonder if he gets custom sized skates ? :P

Thats awesome, I'd be so scared if it when after me.

Thats pretty sick.

(In a bad way)

that must be one stressed out bear haha

zooming in you can see the trainer feed it some snacks, looks legit to me. That must be a crazy stiff stick though...

Thats cruel, I'm not into animal rights or anything but thats awful.

But you never see the bear's mouth open. Also, look closely at how the paws are holding the stick.

Still, it's just as enjoyable for the crowd as trying to catch a wadded t-shirt.

I feel this is really cruel. I mean really I'm not into WWF or anything like that but I think it's pretty sickening. I think it's real look how he shakes his body like an animal at 0.24 in the video.

[Gummer12 134]

Real bear... no human can shake his head like that in a bear suit (see 0:24)

[Zamboni 6]

Looks real to me-and cruel.

The bear needs to bend his knees more, short 'russian style stride' or not.

how does a bear skate and hold onto a stick like that.

[Race4LastPlace 31]

how does a bear skate and hold onto a stick like that.

looked like he was putting majority of his weight leaning onto the stick.

[liroadrunners 0]

i wonder if you can buy his 1000 flex prostock stick.

You guys don't have to worry about calling the SPCA. The bear's not real, although it once was. ;)

It's a great show, however. It had me going for the first 30 second, but once I noticed the ankles and calves of the bear, it was obvious it was a human. Just think of a bear's paw and try to imagine how that would fit into the off-the-shelf skates that the bear's wearing.
