Career

Ethan Bear played in his youth for the Yorkton Harvest in his home town of Saskatchewan before he moved to the Seattle Thunderbirds in the Western Hockey League (WHL) at the end of the 2012/13 season. The Thunderbirds had selected him in the WHL Bantam Draft of 2012 in 25th position. After two years in Seattle, the defender was also considered in the NHL Entry Draft 2015 in 124th place by the Edmonton Oilers , but he did not make his breakthrough with the Thunderbirds until the following season 2015/16. Bear increased his personal statistics to 65 scorer points from 69 games, so that he was elected to the WHL West First All-Star Team . He did the same the following year, when he and his team also won the WHL playoffs for the Ed Chynoweth Cup and was awarded the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as the best defender in the league.

For the 2017/18 season, Bear switched to the Oilers organization, which had already provided him with an entry-level contract in July 2016 . As expected, he was initially used with the Bakersfield Condors , the Oilers' farm team , in the American Hockey League (AHL) before making his debut for Edmonton in the National Hockey League (NHL) in March 2018, where he played 18 games by the end of the season .

On an international level, Bear made his debut for Team Canada West at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2014 in January . He then won a gold medal with the U18 national team at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2014 and a bronze medal at the U18 World Cup in 2015 .
