Moose Bring Back "Teddy Bar Toss" on December 17th Vs. Aeros

December 1, 2010 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Manitoba Moose News Release


The Manitoba Moose are pleased to announce the return of the annual "Teddy Bear Toss presented by Toyota" to take place during the second intermission when the Moose host the Houston Aeros on Friday, December 17th at MTS Centre. Game time is 7:30 PM.

All stuffed toys received during the toss will be donated to Christmas Cheer Board, an organization that donates hampers and toys to families in need during the holiday season.

Fans attending the game between the Moose and Aeros are encouraged to bring a stuffed toy to the game and have that toy registered at one of the Teddy Bear Toss registration tables located on MTS Centre concourse. During the registration process, each fan will have their toy bagged and sealed. Each bag will then be individually numbered for a prize draw for all participants later in the game.

During the second intermission, all fans with a registered stuffed toy will be prompted to throw their bag on the ice in an effort to cover the entire ice surface with bears to donate.

For those fans that forgot to bring a stuffed toy, but would still like to participate in the toss, can purchase a teddy bear for $5.00 each from tables set up on the concourse. All proceeds from the purchased bears will also be donated to Christmas Cheer Board.

Last year, the Moose set a new franchise record with 2,073 stuffed toys donated to the Christmas Cheer Board and $2,420 raised after the Teddy Bear Toss on December 18, 2009.

Moose fans can get tickets to the first-ever meetings between the Moose and Oklahoma City Barons at MTS Centre on December 3rd & 4th, as well as all other Moose games by contacting the Moose Ticket Office at (204) 987-PUCK (7825) or calling Ticketmaster at (204) 780-3333.
