London Knights Aiming to Shatter Teddy Bear Toss Record: Will they break 12,000?

The London Knights are gearing up for their annual Teddy Bear Toss, and the buzz around breaking their own OHL record is palpable. They hit nearly 12,000 stuffed animals last year – an incredible feat! But with the booster club already collecting over 4,000, and the community rallying behind this cause, could we see a new record smashed? How many bears do you think will rain down on the ice this year?

Beyond the spectacle, this event truly highlights the power of community support. The Salvation Army will distribute these bears to over 6,000 children. What other creative ways can teams involve their fans in charitable initiatives? Does the heartwarming story of the Knights Super Fan and his mother’s cherished teddy bear inspire you to give back this holiday season?

While everyone loves the excitement of the first goal, is there too much emphasis on who scores the “Teddy Bear Goal”? Does the internal competition among players add to the fun or detract from the true meaning of the event? Let’s hear your thoughts!
