The Everett Silvertips' offence just got more dangerous. On Wednesday, the Detroit Red Wings announced that they have reassigned Carter Bear to the Silvertips for the 2025-26 season. Bear was a standout in training camp for the Red Wings and had the chance to play in three pre-season games this year. 

Bear was selected 13th overall by Detroit in the 2025 draft. Last season, he scored 40 goals while recording 82 points in 56 games. Unfortunately, Bear's season came to an end early as he suffered a partial Achilles tendon tear. 

With Bear returning, the Silvertips will have one of the deepest teams in the WHL. Other notable players who have already returned for the season include Tarin Smith, Julius Miettinen and Shea Busch. Everett's next game is scheduled for October 3 when they battle the Tri-City Americans.
