During a promotional video shoot for the Kraken team in Alaska, the blue-haired troll mascot and forward John Hayden found themselves in a tense situation when they came face-to-face with a grizzly bear. The incident occurred while the team was capturing footage for an upcoming campaign, which was set to highlight their new merchandise line and community engagement efforts.
According to sources, the encounter happened in a remote area of Denali National Park, where the team had been filming for several days. Safety personnel were quickly dispatched to the scene, and both the mascot and John Hayden were unharmed. However, the incident has raised concerns about the risks associated with filming in wildlife-heavy regions.
The Kraken organization has since stated that they are reviewing their safety protocols and considering additional measures to ensure the well-being of both their team members and the local wildlife. The incident has also sparked discussions about the need for better preparedness in such environments, emphasizing the importance of respecting natural habitats while pursuing promotional activities.
