Real bears playing Hockey

[sirtiggobitties]

holy shit, how are there BEARS playing sports!? this is fucking amazing

[j3llibeanz]

bears dont play hockey

[borchor]

holy crap these bears are good ive honestly seen humans worse at hockey and skating than these guys and theres even a little scuffle to beauty

[jpl486]

Y'all really think those are bears?

[Goronzrus]

Those goalies suck.

[BryFoo]

Not entertaining at all......all I feel is sympathy for those poor animals. Cruel...just cruel.

[ChannelOfJ0]

they shouldn't make bears do this stuff

[VotePalpatine]

what the fuck am i watching

[ULTRAINFINITEJUSTICE]

TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN! FUCK YEAH HUMANS!

[hyundaiisthebest]

in Soviet Russia, bear trains you

[Corsair857]

I hope all the bears in this video died from a concussion that only Sidney Crosby could deliver upon his foes. Any hockey playing bear would gladly die this way.

[CapptainM]

no description available... yea.. totally not sketch xD

[cedars30]

Greatest sport ever!!!!!

[littleteaddybear]

Not real bears!

[MsBrutus64]

Sick arseholes! This is just aimal cruelty. The suffering and pain that these bears go through particularly behind the scenes is vile, just to entertain sick people with nothing better to do. FUCK YOU ALL YOU ANIMALS ABUSERS!!!

[ameraz4126]

@MsBrutus64 Fuck you non-fun haver. Those bears are pro.

[Krawke]

In Canada, you play hockey with the Bears.

In Russia, the bears play hockey with you.

[htdrock]

first hockey, next the world. I for one am buying an underground bunker in preparation for the Great Bear Takeover

[JonDraeger]

No these are not people in bear suits, no this is not some CGI orgy, this is the real deal. I saw this show myself in Leningrad in 1982. The bears stank, shat on the ice and grunted like no human could. I thought it was funny and amazing back then but now, how incredibly sad.

[thaproducer9]

they're too smart, we're fucked

[kendra2004]

Yeah these bears get beat up for your entertainmet.

[stacywormell]

@melvargerdes. Nobodies forcing you to do anything. Take control of your life and the decisions you make. Don't make others suffer because you are miserable.

[DSakaiOnRye]

"no description available"

[JRCrowley]

Does a bear shit in the penalty box?

[WithinReach2]

Obviously people in bear suits!

[JRLOC488]

in soviet russia....aw fk it

[rummrunner86]

where do I get tickets?

[zsshamalama]

@rummrunner86 

[XJizzMasterZeroX]

Ha! the bear between the pipes still plays better than Raycroft

[mapscannotcontainme]

The Russian national bear ice hockey team was incredible and went undefeated in international play for 15 years until the 1980 winter bear olympics, when a group of amateur American black bears pulled off the greatest upset in Olympic bear hockey history.

[lindsay016016]

omg! animal cruelty!!! no:( this is soooo awful!!!!

[Ratclifff]

0:47 Upper right corner, the ref's shirt goes into the bear's head. Fake

[officermcnutty]

do you morons actually believe this is real? im astounded by the comments..

[dral19]

@officermcnutty Have you never heard of the Boston Bruins? I'm astounded by your comment

[dearmalika]

sorry but I dont like this, bears are not hockey players! They must live in peace and be free!

[spikedawg1970]

@dearmalika  Then don't watch it....problem solved!

[antifluffy]

How do the bears know to play hockey.

This is amazing.

[ieahXIII]

After watching this video I want to become a bear ice hockey coach. :D

[THEkingjaymz]

So the Bears can win a game...

And is that Roberto Luongo in net?

[jeikuman]

I am really torn from like or disliking this. 

[Writersblock39]

"What're you doing tonight?"

"Watchin' the bears play"

[stacywormell]

This is fucking brutal- these poor animals.

[MelvarGerdes]

@stacywormell I'm brought to this world and forced to study things I don't like, meet people I don't want to know, and end up doing things I hate. And this is considered normal.

[gjr5036]

Wait, how is every comment on here not along the lines of, "holy shit, how are there BEARS playing sports!?!" I get that it's morally conflicting blah blah, but seriously, who just watched BEARS playing HOCKEY! ON SKATES!

[WeShall4ttack]

@gjr5036

Just the sheer fact that those beasts can hold their own on iceskates =P Looks almost as if... they're trained for it?... o0

[Oskuzi997]

fake

[hollispepper]

this is cruel

[erudzitis84]

very nice goals

[lisaismanish]

Poor bears.

[1pulse]

RUSSIA

they ain't playin

[terrarune]

Diligence, son.

[BobbyMcBob23]

I agree. But, given that, isn't that #2 bear at the start of the video fucking *smooth*?

[KingRudeBrainStudd]

This is fucking disgusting. Does anyone really think any of these bears really want to be put on display for your amusement as opposed to being free in a forest somewhere? I guarantee the only way they were trained to "play" hockey was through abuse.

[inthepants117]

@KingRudeBrainStudd well hope you don't mind that after this game they were put down and skinned for coats.

[cb2198]

@KingRudeBrainStudd

You don't know that, PETAfag.

[thebudgetgamer]

i gotta say pink team goaly isn't very good at all.

[KirkJohnsonakaGoatse]

Go Bears!

[thieugiahongo]

hahaha

[TheLastDman]

Diction



[vlavar]

Damn

[Segador128]

Meanwhile in Russia

[blinkjagr]

I couldn't cut it in this league, every time we would drop the gloves i would get my ass handed to me

[aznthg27]

how the fuck are there people that dislike this? wtf is wrong with you people?

[ohcmeon]

@aznthg27 how the fuck can you like animal abuse? do you really think there was any way besides beating the bears up to get them to do this?

[ameraz4126]

@ohcmeon Hey this is badass. Shut. up.

[bobbythemedic]

@ohcmeon are you retarded?

[jomomma1717]

better than toronto...

[mase15]

This is disgusting

[Skandrae]

Good god, that goalie is awful.

[Segador128]

Where is your god now Canadians, where is your god now...

[runningchief]

Here they are, your Stanley Cup Champions the Boston Bruins!

[Alexinnj]

You all are stupid. This is fake.

[sulhaq]

@Alexinnj It's not fake. Look it up on google there's countless articles about it. Even New York Times did one. It's a russian circus.

[copyrightJ]

The goalie sucks

[dzamija922]

This is fucking retarded. I'm sick of people who think it's their privilege to bend nature to their will. These bears belong in a fucking forest. FOR FUCK'S SAKE, it wouldn't surprise me if this was filmed during their hibernation period or something. Damn the human race

[SPARTANN09]

@dzamija922 Chill out bro, the bears are winning.

[dzamija922]

@SPARTANN09 You're a retard.

[Cosmickey86]

why doesn't this have like fifty-bajillion views?

[AnduOlen13]

:O

[cedars30]

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen!!!!!! I wish there was a league so I could bet!!!!!!

[chanctonbury63]

Fucking ridiculous. Put them back where they belong.

[PenguinTeaser]

how they hell did they manage to put ice skates on them?

[Gamer9678]

the "ref" goes in to break up the fight, like hes going to be able to do something about it....

[danopie111]

These aren't bears their the New York Rangers.

[Squid165]

there is no fucking way these are real bears

[killercro55over]

how did they fit the skates on?? how the fuck did they teach them how to skate period????

[Novac]

Worst. Goaltending. Ever.

Is this why I hate the Bruins so much?

[minion158]

wtf r those really bears?

[neeliog3]

i hope they slaughtered every one of these bears after the game

[Redlobsterorisit]

they're clearly giant rats, not bears

[anneshah1]

This is so wrong! They belong in the wild. So much abuse!

[ZombieDeathProof]

Hats off to the brave mother fucker who put there skates on!

[bagpipesrule1]

God damn canadiens

[3687431]

@bagpipesrule1 russian... were not that fucked up.

[RyanPlayChess]

don't make a bad call ref... don't make a bad call

[binkleBEAR]

omg is this really real, cause really how do they fit the skates?

[soljosali]

Damn. The goal-keeper is not doing the job...

[ztantifaith]

This is animal cruelty, why would they have to muzzle them if they enjoyed this? They probably just prefer is to being beaten, which in all likeliness they are regularly.

[maxman2324]

this is so wrong.. 

[JRM2882]

WELCOME TO RUSSIA

[ThePENNY1999]

wow;.... awesome



[Savoie1471]

I would be pissed If I had to play in those shitty ass skates, no wonder there having a hard time.

[mickeyb1000]

this is real, I went and saw them when i was a little kid. Wish i never had it's fucked up

[RegnujNitsua]

@squek23 why do you think you know what bears like, are you a bear? I like playing hockey. Plus they look like they're having fun

[squek23]

@RegnujNitsua omg...you are too stupid to bother with,,,,,

[Jem93rocks]

This is hilarious.

[MarlooRedd]

Now it's time for PETA to kill the bears and claim they're freeing them.

[rudy8261]

OMFG!!! THIS IS MORE EPIC THAN RUSSIAN CRASH TEST CATS

[TheAtheistWarrior]

I hate to kill your buzz but I'll tell you how they get these bears to give up their natural instinct to walk on 4 paws. They stand them on a large metal plate that is wired to an electrical outlet. when the animal lets go of the hockey stick, they electrocute him. Eventually the poor animal realizes that he will die if he lets go of that stick. Still 'Amazing'? I am sick to my stomach so I'll leave now.

[squek23]

@TheAtheistWarrior I'm with you on that.....it's disgusting and cruel and degrading...anyone who likes this is probably short a few marbles

[Troublesome2008]

@squek23

Come on, this is not real! It's CGI mixed with real footage...

[Mordaedil]

@TheAtheistWarrior ... Fuck, it's still impressive to look at.

[Defenseman619]

@TheAtheistWarrior there is a certain point when you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WATCH BEARS PLAY HOCKEY, and get off your little soapbox and understand that most of us understand this. Yes, we get it, they're probably not happy. Maybe 30 years ago when they were doing this you run your yap and maybe DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

[NickDELaing]

@TheAtheistWarrior you`re a faggot



[89cswagga]

Only on ESPN The Ocho!

[thelastgameronearth]

Hilarious!!!!Go CANUCKS GO!!!

[RegnujNitsua]

@squek23 maybe the bears like to play hockey. I know I do.

[squek23]

@RegnujNitsua Seriously????? You think bears like to play hockey? Unreal.

[shiftypowers4444]

How the fuck do you put skates on a bear?!?!

[santtupiip]

Meanwhile in Finland...

[YouthEnergy]

@santtupiip Russia, actually.

[YuMMiEGiRL]

thumbs up if u came here bc of mad love

[guck71]

bears are funny

bears are funny

[raychelle131]

bears are funny

[raychelle131]

bears are funny

[aberfoyler]

This bear wont skate or do anything, what should we do?.. Put him in net!

[Macknsteez]

that goalie sucks

[FHQVZcmz]

Wow it's fake at first I had a feeling but then I remembered that bares don't have friggen human feet and there using human skates WTF!

[Damnation2525]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS I DON'T FUCKING EVEN...

[Selex501]

Guys, relax.

It's just Team Russia practicing for 2014

[zBloodyRose]

The most disturbing video I ever saw....o-o

[packymayonaise]

In no way is this real, you dolts. Find some actual cruelty to complain about.

[nelliott83]

@JaguarX0 you're right it's totally unbearable

[mervellious]

@nelliott83

.....I want to kill you because of that pun, but God help me I laughed....bravo

[JaguarX0]

if this isn't just a really good fake, I really feel disgusted by anyone who would cruelly subdue bears to this sort of torture.

[clancy6969]

@JaguarX0 Fuck yourself and die

[JaguarX0]

@clancy6969 Nah, i'd rather fuck your mom, and let her die choking on my cock.

[gookmarathon]

@JaguarX0 relax dude, no checks allowed.

[darthyenik]

This must be the KHL all-star game.

[thebluebunny1]

so thats what bears do when they come out of hybernation

[ScubaGolz]

Strange

[iRangerxX]

LOL? or WTF?

[emeraldrafael]

That was truly awesome.

[dragonzerro]

Like I said you're a damn hippie and a waste of bandwidth. Go eat a plant and kill yourself.

[squek23]

Somebody has to speak out against animal abuse. People who find this funny are probably lacking in the IQ department. It says something about you that this doesn't bother you. Hope you don't have children or pets. I am not a hippie. I am a wildlife conservation officer, work with these animals all the time. Hate to see them degraded like this. Shame on you dragonzerro. Is the "zerro" your IQ by any chance?

[mrsolodol089]

@squek23

I guess being a pussy gives you a high IQ.

[dragonzerro]

God I hate these hippies that complain about shit like this. It was an awesome video. Go chain urself to a tree we don't need you on the Internet.

[squek23]

sneakattack879..I think we know who the moron is...bears are omnivores(big word for you I know..ask your mom what it means)90% of what they eat is plants. They don't eat steaks. I live very close to the Rocky mountains and would never think of hugging a bear. They are wild animals not pets. (Remember Travis the chimp??? Prime example) People who have no empathy for animals suffering are 5 times more likely to commit violence against people. Compassion is the measure of intelligence.

[jakjonsun]

Google this, it's totally 100% real

[PunkBouncer]

Amazingly, this looks authentic. And all this talk about morality and speculative abuse is ruining a good video. How productive is it to argue about footage that looks like it comes from the 80's?

[provacativemoose]

I doubt their feet would fit in the skates and they would just maul the person trying to put the skates on them.

[renarddesneiges]

Fake and gay... but still pretty awesome.

[Skeneable]

Sucks to be the guy who has to strap their skates on

[Misha938]

wow thats so cruel... who would enjoy watching this? i did lol at the top comment though :D

[Sorenconrad1]

This has to be the meanest thing I have ever seen

[XPKZFIRE]

Its people in bear costumes.

[Psychicslight]

what a terrible goalie



[WispierTetrahedrons]

Thank you Puck Nuts.

[squek23]

I hope whoever made these beautiful creatures do this gets testicular cancer!!! And I hope his kids do too..we don't want bastards like this in the gene pool. Hope he;s dead already.

[sneakattack879]

@squek23 If you made yourself sound like anymore of a hippy moron I think the world would explode. You're an idiot, in the unlikely event that this is real then those bears were probably trained using positive reinforcement in the form of steaks and other bear friendly shit. Explain this to me, do you actually love animals so much as to condemn someone of your own race to something as awful as testicular cancer? Fucking moron. Why don't you go find a bear in the woods and try to hug it. Idiot.

[Fistwagon]

Ok, this put me in the mood for some nasty accident videos where people die horribly.

[LokestOG]

Beats Canada's performance at the World Juniors Final

[Delmoroth]

To the various people crying about my post being unfair to bears because they are no worse than other animals/ are too stupid to not murder their children. My point wasn't that bears were evil and needed to die, it was just that all these posts about poor innocent bears are silly. The point is that unless they are demonstrated to be moral/thinking creatures, they are rather unworthy of our concern. Should we protect them so they can kill other animals for fun more often?

[LivingWithGiantsband]

@Delmoroth Yes we should

[33mokey]

@Delmoroth wow, you sound like a fuckin idiot, i dont really think this is wrong or anything, but what you just said sounds fucking retarded

[ghoststar]

@Delmoroth bears kill other animals for fun? when have we ever heard reports of bears killing other animals then simply walking away without eating it? the only reports we have of bears killing and not eating their kill r of bears protecting their young and bears in captivity who kill their trainers. i won't even get into the absurdity of applying human social ethics and morals to bears...

[noodlelube]

Bear 'trainer' gets comeuppance cbc.ca/news/world/story/2009/1­0/22/bear-on-skates-kills-circ­us-director.html

[kissonthis0101]

Wait. Who in the world thinks this is real???? There is 1 real bear out there not doing much at all, all the others are FAKE

[Killermolls44]

@ThomasKpinkstine, look at the way they move and occasionally rely on their paws. Umm do people do that? No.

Poor bears though, if I was one I'd go ballistic and attack people. 

[redrocketwestie]

@Killermolls44 They do if they're pretending to be bears. Counterpoint: How do the bears hold onto their hockey sticks with one paw? They don't have opposable thumbs. How do they support themselves? (Hint: a hockey stick can't support a bear's weight, and certainly can't be maneuvered if it were). Ask yourself: why are there so many cuts and camera angles? It doesn't look like coverage of an actual sporting event; it looks like it was a bunch of staged scenes cut together.

[UnderDogFourSix]

@redrocketwestie actual hockey sticks couldnt support their weight but those werent authentic. looked real but i hope to hell this is fake. funny yes but thinking about what those trainers did to the bears kinda drowns out the humor. but yea its fake im siding with you.......please be fake

[rpaxon]

@ThomasKPinkstine  Sorry Sherlock, but it's real

[ThomasKPinkstine]

This is fake guys.... They may have had one bear out there but the rest are really good costumes, just look at the way the legs and the feet move sometimes. it's obviously men in costumes

[Dmon3y604]

this is so cruel. I hope everyone involved with this ended up getting mauled.

[iSOBigD]

This has to be real. There's no way you could fake this on a computer years ago even with a huge budget. I've seen bears skating before and I've seen them use sticks...maybe those Russians just put 2 and 2 together.

[iSOBigD]

I could Bearly control my excitement during this match!

[cracklytoes]

This is so sad :( I hope the bears killed the trainers!!!!!

[kruzkills]

if u think these are real bears ur a dumb fk
