So it’s that time of the season again. Time for the Teddy
Bear Toss!!! One of the greatest ideas involving stuffed animals, charities,
and hockey. Here’s how it works: Fans are encouraged to bring stuffed animals
to the game to throw on the ice. When the home team scores their first goal of
the game, the stuffed animals rain down on the ice. They’re collected and given
to local charities. And it’s quite a sight to see.
The Calgary Hitmen of the WHL seem to be the model team at
this. They’ve done it for quite a while now, and the videos always end up online
and look more impressive every year. I mean, look at that, nearly 26,000
stuffed animals get thrown onto the ice! That’s amazing! They come raining down
for almost 3 minutes! Having been to a Teddy Bear Toss game (Niagara Ice Dogs
last year), I can state that it is just as much fun being there as it looks.
Stuffed animals come flying from all around and you get to throw them on the
ice and watch them pile up. It’s a wonderful sight to see, and it’s wonderful
that it’s all done for charity. And if you ever get the chance to go to a Teddy
Bear Toss game, I highly, highly recommend it.
