Cincinnati Cyclones News Release


CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones, proud affiliate of the NHL's Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators, announced that they will hold their annual Teddy Bear Toss on Saturday, January 4 at U.S. Bank Arena. For the third consecutive season, the collection of bears will benefit the Cincinnati Police Department.

Just like last season, this year's event will coincide with Throwback Night, which will feature $8 tickets, $1 John Morrell Hot Dogs, Donatos Pizza, Soda and Beer. When the Cyclones score their first goal, fans will be encouraged to throw a new or gently loved teddy bear onto the ice, which will then be collected and donated to the Cincinnati Police Department.

"The Cincinnati Police Department family is grateful to the Cyclones organization for once again having the Teddy Bear Toss as part of their Throwback Night festivities," said Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell. "The stuffed animals that fans toss onto the ice to celebrate the Cyclones' first goal will help our efforts in bringing comfort to young victims of crime, accidents or fires. The support of partners like the Cyclones is tremendous."

"We are very happy to continue supporting our dedicated, committed police department here in Cincinnati," said Cyclones General Manager Kristin Ropp. "They provide such an outstanding level of service to the community and I'm excited to tie them in with one of our best promotions of the year."

Last year's Teddy Bear Toss / Throwback Night set a club regular season record for attendance, with 12,228 fans in the house at U.S. Bank Arena. With that in mind, fans are strongly encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance of game day, by calling 513.421.PUCK. Fans can also get the latest team updates throughout the season on Facebook and Twitter (@CincyCyclones).
