TEDDY BEAR TOSS NIGHT ON DECEMBER 4th

The RiverKings are teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps and "Toys for Tots" this year for the annual "Teddy Bear Toss" night, when the RiverKings play the Colorado Eagles in Southaven at 7:05 PM. Bring several new and unused teddy bears with you to the game, and when the RiverKings score their first goal of the night against the Eagles, toss all your bears onto the ice. The bears will be collected and given to the "Toys for Tots" program, which has been working since 1948 to make the holidays merrier for area children less fortunate. We'll look to make this the biggest "Teddy Bear Night" ever and we need you to help out!
