local charities to help children in need during the holiday season. The Jackals are
also featuring Support Our Troops Night: $4 from each ticket purchased for Friday's

Wayne. Fans can bring in brand new teddy bears on their own or they can purchase

the first Elmira goal, fans then throw all their teddy bears onto the ice in
celebration of the Jackals and the holiday spirit of giving. The Jackals will
collect all the bears thrown on to the ice and the players will deliver the teddy
bears in person to children in area hospitals. Saturday Night will also feature a special contest from the Gold, Silver & Diamond
