The Best Goal Celebration of the Year
It's finally here! Teddy Bear Toss 2022 has arrived and we can't wait to see you all tonight for a SOLD-OUT game!
Bring your teddy bears and other stuffed animals to the game and get ready to launch them onto the ice once the Winterhawks score their first goal of the game
If you're bringing multiple, put them in clear plastic bags to expedite the security screening process. Doors will open at a special 3:30 P.M. time to allow fans to park and get into the building before a 5:00 P.M. puck drop. It's going to be a big crowd, so arrive early to make sure you're in your seat before the festivities begin!
Once you're in the building, swing by the team store to pick up some of our new merch items, including newly added player tees, holiday tees and warmup pucks, plus a limited number of stuffed Hawks to fill out your teddy bear haul for tonight!
New Sweaters
Earlier this week, we completed our uniform rebrand with the introduction of our new red uniforms, and tonight, you get to see 'em on the ice for the very first time!
Additionally, keep an eye out during warmups for a sneak peek at another uniform the Hawks will sport for one game in the near future...
Battle With Seattle
If Teddy Bear Toss and a sold-out game aren't enough to get you pumped, how about another installment of the best rivalry in the WHL? Portland and Seattle have each won twice in this season's series, with the Hawks taking back-to-back wins early in November and the T-Birds responding with a pair of wins to wrap up the month.
Seattle enters tonight's tilt somewhat shorthanded, with the departures of Reid Schaefer, Thomas Milic, Kevin Korchinski and Nolan Allan to Team Canada's selection camp for the 2023 World Junior Championship, but still boasts impressive firepower with the likes of Kyle Crnkovic, Gracyn Sawchyn, Lucas Ciona and 2023 NHL Draft prospect Scott Ratzlaff between the pipes.
It's always exciting when these two clubs meet, and we've got another doozy on the way tonight!
