Carter Bear's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Bear is the kind of player who can be relied upon to score timely goals and provide reliable detail, and tenacity, in all three zones. The Silvertips are a team that plays an “in your face” style of hockey and Bear fits the mold."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "He possesses quick, soft hands, legit skill, good speed and a natural shot but he also stays around it, plays with intensity, works extremely hard and goes to the net and inside ice. I’ve seen him make some impressive skill plays this season and dance goalies and defensemen, but he can also beat you with his work ethic and I like both the intentionality of his game and the way he uses his skill to play to the middle third."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "Bear is a player who plays with an extremely high motor, engaging in contact whenever he can and directing plays through the middle of the ice and at the net front whenever he can. Despite the fact that he’s not a particularly large player at 6’0, paired with footspeed that I’d only describe as average, you can always count on Bear to not only consistently apply pressure to the opposition on the forecheck, but to regularly win puck battles with ease and force mistakes."

Kareem Elshafey - FC Hockey - March 9th: "He’s an energetic forward who consistently gives it his all. He’s a good skater and has decent playmaking, finishing, and puck-handling skills but creates lots of his offense with his IQ and around the net."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 28th: "Bear plays the game physically on and off the puck, inviting contact and then playing through it. His forechecking and puck pursuit are among the best in class, and he never lacks effort defensively, either."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "Moves well all over the ice to create disturbances and turnovers. Once with the puck, Bear can create for teammates or finish with elite touch."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "Bear's shot is his strength, especially his ability to get it off quick in tight spaces. He's smart and skilled enough to find open ice and produce but is strong enough to make space for himself below the face-off dots and finish around the net."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "The versatile forward can play center but seems most effective on the wing. The left-handed shot (6-0, 179) plays the bumper on the power play and has four short-handed points (two goals, two assists). Bear also is hard on plays and will finish checks."
