CBC Indigenous’s Stefan Richard spoke with Red Wings 1st round draft pick Carter Bear and Montreal Canadiens draft pick Hayden Paupanekis regarding their statuses as Manitoban First Nations picks in this past June’s NHL Draft, and Bear suggested that his work ethic is what sets him apart:
CBC Indigenous asked the players what separates their game from anyone else.
Bear said, “I just want to win every shift. I don’t like to take a shift off at all. I don’t want to be lazy so I think it’s just me not taking a shift off and I wanted to win every battle, every shift.”
Continued; Bear busts his butt on every shift, and that’s a very good characteristic with which to define one’s game.
