New Ducks championship merchandise on sale for the first time includes fleeces, T-shirts, pint glasses, stuffed animals, pins and holiday ornaments.

After the drive is completed, Ducks players will be visiting three area pediatric units to distribute the toys. Fans are encouraged to bring unwrapped toys to either the Citibank Park executive offices, or to the Waddle In Shop during normal business hours.
