Detroit Red Wings prospect forward Carter Bear, whom they selected in the opening round of the 2025 NHL Draft, has been named the WHL's Player of the Month.

It seems that the sky is the limit for Detroit Red Wings prospect Carter Bear, who was selected in the first round (13th overall) of the 2025 NHL Draft. 

His scoring touch has been on full display while suiting up for the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League, and he earned another accolade thanks to his offensive prowess. 

After notching 13 goals with 12 assists in his last 12 games, Bear has been named the WHL's Player of the Month.

Not long after being selected by the Red Wings, general manager Steve Yzerman acted quickly by signing him to a three-year, entry-level contract carrying a  $975,000 cap hit. 

If Bear's offensive touch in the WHL is any indication of what Red Wings fans could eventually look forward to in his inevitable NHL career, it's going to be a bright future for the Winnipeg, Manitoba native.
