Victoria Salmon Kings News Release


Victoria, BC- The Victoria Salmon Kings, proud affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose, announced 521 stuffed toys were collected as part of the second annual Teddy Bear Toss at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, which doubles last year's donation.

After the first Salmon Kings goal in the December 9th matchup versus the Long Beach Ice Dogs (a 3-1 Victoria win), fans covered the ice with the donated toys which will be presented to the Santa's Anonymous Fund by the Victoria Salmon Kings Booster Club.

The Victoria Salmon Kings would like to thank all the fans who participated and to the Victoria Salmon Kings Booster Club volunteers who helped out at the game. They would also like to thank HBC for providing teddy bears on site for purchase. Proceeds from the sale of the HBC bears were given to local charities.
