Bear was chosen by the Edmonton Oilers in the fifth round (No. 124) of the 2015 NHL Draft. He played four seasons for Seattle of the Western Hockey League and signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers on July 2, 2016. He made his NHL debut against the Nashville Predators on March 1, 2018 and scored his first NHL goal in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks on March 25.
Bear was sent to Bakersfield of the American Hockey League on Oct. 3, 2019 but was recalled the next day en route to his first full season in the NHL.
