Toque and Teddy Bear Toss Saturday

Regina, Saskatchewan – With the return of the Regina Pats to the Brandt Centre Saturday night, they would like to celebrate the holiday season with their annual "Toque and Teddy Bear Toss" night.

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.

For more information on the Teddy Bear Toss contact:

Eberle/Teubert Back To World Juniors

Regina, SK – Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) announced on Wednesday that 36 of Canada's top junior-aged hockey players (born in 1990 or later) have been invited to take part in Canada's National Junior selection camp from December 12-16, 2009 in Regina, Sask.

Among the 36 players invited, 10 are currently playing in the Western Hockey League, including 2009 IIHF World Junior Championship gold medalists Jordan Eberle and Colten Teubert, both members of the Regina Pats.

Brandon Wheat Kings line-mates Scott Glennie and Brayden Schenn have been invited to camp along with the Calgary Hitmen's Martin Jones and Brandon Kozun, Kelowna Rockets forward Brandon McMillan, Moose Jaw Warriors defenceman Travis Hamonic, Spokane Chiefs captain Jared Cowen and Swift Current Broncos sniper Cody Eakin.

Over the past 10 years, WHL players have made up over 40% of Team Canada's National Junior roster, and close to 60% of Team Canada's defenceman corp.

Of the 36 players invited, seven are returning players – having won gold medals at the 2009 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ottawa.

Thirty-one of the players named to the selection camp roster were drafted in either the 2008 or 2009 NHL Entry Draft, including fourteen first-round selections and six second-round picks.

The NHL's St. Louis Blues have also confirmed that they will loan defenceman Alex Pietrangelo (King City, Ont.) to Canada's National Junior Team, and he will be at the selection camp in Regina.

Hockey Canada may still add additional players prior to the opening of the selection camp on December 12, in the event that any other NHL teams loan Canada's National Junior Team junior-aged eligible players currently playing in the NHL.
