I love Teddy Bear Toss Night. Because the boys always deliver. Just who was responsible for unleashing the 4,067 plushies? Why it was Mitch Wahl, early in the first. Thanks for coming out, Kootenay. And thanks for getting us Chalupas before the end of the first. Final damage, 6-2 Chiefs.
Dear Brett Bartman,
You have been a bit under the radar but you showed up tonight. And by showing up I mean, thanks for the fight in the first and the two assists on the night.
Cookie for you!
Love,
Wrap

See, this is why I love hockey. Teddy bears and goalies! All it needs is a Lisa Frank sparkle pen.
Levkoooooo Koperrrrrr
I picked him to get the first goal. I was wrong. As all my predictions are.
plush round up.
Seriously, how cute is that?
On my hott list;
Drayson Bowman for having 2 goals and 3 assists on the night
Brett Bartman for making an impression
Dustin Tokarski for redeeming his stud status
Unrelated injured reserve hott list;
Luke Schenn. Babycakes. Ovechkin is a bit of a beast. But I applaud your effort darling. I will tend to your injured state.
That made me happy. Though I clicked on the Toka picture like 6 times wishing it would embiggen. We’re gonna make believe I’m “tenacious” rather than just stupid.

Thanks, now I have to go to our dark, scary cellar to hug my old teddy bears… of course after I hugged the ones in my room

Lol @ Kuhn and Reid’s faces in the last one… especially Kuhn. I love the dumb faces he makes.

If this was the NHL, the team would have been fined for throwing debris on the ice and you would all be banned.
Another reason to love junior hockey.

That needs to happen more often at hockey games.

Every game should be a teddy bear game!

this is SO cool!!!! I am going to suggest it to my own team!
one question though – what would have happened if the chiefs didn’t score?

@sarah: If I remember right, the first year the Chiefs decided to do it, they didn’t score. So by the third period, people were tossing bears anyways.
But for the most part, the goal usually happens super early in the first. The boys the so skate their faces off to try and get the teddy goal.

I bet they do!
I just got an email back from the director of my local team, I sent him to look at your post and the youtube you linked and he is going to raise it for discussion with the possibility of us doing something similar. I will be so stoked if they go for it

@ Sarah: That is so awesome! Let me know how it turns out. And if you type in Teddy Bear Toss on youtube you can find a bunch of vids from other teams.
