‘An immense amount of pride': Peguis First Nation celebrates Carter Bear's NHL achievement
Carter Bear signs Detroit Red Wings jerseys bearing his name during a community celebration in Peguis First Nation. Uploaded Aug. 10, 2025. (Peguis First Nation) An Interlake First Nation celebrated one of its own on Saturday. Peguis First Nation hosted a community event honouring Carter Bear, an 18-year-old winger with the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League. Bear was selected 13th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the first round of the 2025 NHL entry draft. He was born in Winnipeg, but his family is from the Peguis First Nation. 'Just an immense amount of pride. We haven't stopped telling people where he's from, and what our connections are to the community,' said Chief Stan Bird of Peguis First Nation. 'It's a real positive thing for our youth to see – to be part of history. '18-year-old Indigenous person being drafted by the Detroit Red Wings. That's history itself.' Chief Bird said he initially didn't expect Bear to have the time to sign individual autographs and take pictures, but Bear made it happen on Saturday. 'We're very pleased that he'll take a few hours of his time, just to drive to Peguis, to meet with the people of Peguis. 'There's a lot of pride here, and for him to come back and to interact with the people, I think it's a really positive, uplifting experience for all of us.' To mark Bear's selection by the Red Wings, organizers served free hot wings at the event.

Detroit Red Wings sign first-round draft pick Carter Bear to entry-level contract
The Detroit Red Wings have signed their top draft pick. The Red Wings and first-round draft pick Carter Bear have agreed on a three-year, entry-level contract, as announced on the team's X account: Detroit made Bear the No. 13 overall pick at the 2025 NHL Draft, held on June 27. The 18-year-old forward led the Western Hockey League's Everett Silvertips with 82 points in the 2024-25 season despite partially tearing his Achilles tendon on March 9. The Red Wings drafted Bear despite his injury, with general manager Steve Yzerman saying: "We checked it out. Our doctors feel it will heal 100%. It wasn't a concern for us at all." Bear was named to the WHL's Western Conference Second All-Star Team in 2025, his third season with the Silvertips. Entry-level contracts last for three years for NHL draftees who are 18-19 years old. The contract allows for Bear to continue playing in lower leagues without starting the clock on his contract, with nine NHL games allowed before he has to remain with the Wings. He is likely to remain with the Silvertips for another season.
