A teddy bear toss is a popular Christmas season promotion at many minor and junior hockey arenas throughout North America. Fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears to the game, and to throw them onto the ice when the home team scores its first goal. The toys are then gathered up to be donated as Christmas presents to hospitals and charities.
Last Sunday 25,303 stuffed animals hit the ice in Calgary when Hitmen winger Calder Brooks scored just his second goal of the season in the second period.
