Hockey Bears

I’ve been watching “Bears Playing Hockey” this morning.
There is no point in sharing this except that, well, it is freakin’ bears playing hockey. Get me some cocktails and I’d watch this video all day long.
To echo Matt’s comments at With Leather today:
“Don’t even TRY to tell me that this is digitally manipulated or somehow fake. I don’t want to live in a world where bears don’t play hockey.”
Who would?
Thanks to David at Hockey Fights.com for mentioning the video to me this morning. And speaking of hockey fights… now there’s an idea with serious entertainment value, in a room full of bears on skates. 
Or maybe not.
Update 11:28am PT:
Sarah in the comments below mentions a BBC video with some Polar bear hockey. Outstanding.

Awesome, right?
I keep having déjà vu, though. I feel like I’ve seen this before in the distant past but have no idea where or why.

Oh yeah, it’s awesome, no question. But vaguely disturbing. The late fight really seals the deal.
I need to stop it watching it right now.

The way they’re scoring on the goalie, that bear’s name has to be Osgood.

I really don’t know what to make of that!
I can raise you polar bears vs Joe Sakic, though, courtesy of the BBC

That’s BBC video is awesome! I added it to the post.
Geez, is “bears & hockey” some sort of theme I never knew about before?

That’s hilarious! PETA must be all over this one

haha. It must be hard for those bears to hold the hockey sticks without opposable thumbs
refreshing video none the less
