Bridgeport Islanders News Release
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The Bridgeport Sound Tigers, proud AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders, are thrilled to bring back "Teddy Bear Toss" for their Friday, Nov. 23rd matchup against the Hartford Wolf Pack at Webster Bank Arena.

Teddy Bear Toss
Teddy Bear Toss is a unique and highly-entertaining opportunity to give back during the holiday season. Fans are asked to bring new stuffed animals, or other soft toys, to the 7 p.m. game and toss them onto the ice when the Sound Tigers score their first goal. Anyone who brings a new stuffed animal or other soft toy will receive $5 off their box office ticket the day of the game.
The toys will be collected and donated to the Connecticut Education Foundation (CEF) for its holiday gift-giving project. The efforts will help provide gifts to children in need during the holiday season. More than 10,000 Connecticut public school students have benefited from the holiday program since it began in 1998.
