Bear Hughes Facts

Drafted: 2020 round 5 #148 overall by Washington Capitals

The most exciting part of Bear's game is that he's, well, a bear on the puck. Strength allows him to win battles from disadvantage positions and shrug off checks. He keeps the puck across his hips, putting weight over stick and making him tricky to dispossess. With pressure bearing down, he integrates look offs and changes of pace to misdirect defenders. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
