Windsor Spitfires News Release
Windsor, ON. - The Windsor Spitfires are excited to host our annual Teddy Bear Toss game on Sunday, November 23, a cherished holiday tradition that brings together hockey fans, community spirit, and charitable giving.
Last year's event was a tremendous success: the community donated 3,954 stuffed animals, which were distributed to local children via Sparky's Toy Drive.
What Is the Teddy Bear Toss?
Fans are encouraged to bring a new stuffed animal (teddy bear or other plush toy) to the game. When the home team scores its first goal, fans launch their bears onto the ice in a jubilant, feel-good moment. After the goal, volunteers and staff collect the toys, which are then donated to children's charities, hospitals, and local social-service organizations.
