For over 10 years, the Regina Pats have been celebrating this Christmas tradition, and it continues Saturday against the Brandon Wheat Kings, as we encourage fans to bring a brand new stuffed animal, a pair of mitts or a toque to the game against the Brandon Wheat Kings. The puck drops at 7pm on 620 CKRM.
When the Pats score their first goal, fans can celebrate it by throwing their stuffed animals on to the ice.
The Teddy Bear Toss is a holiday tradition around many Western Hockey League arenas, with the Calgary Hitmen leading the way last season.
During their Teddy Bear Toss night on November 30th, 2008 a sold out Pengrowth Saddledome saw 22,722 stuffed animals rain down upon the Hitmen.
All of the collected toques and toys from Saturday night's game between your Regina Pats and the Brandon Wheat Kings will be distributed to the Pasqua and General Hospitals as well as Soul's Harbour and the Salvation Army.
