The 19th annual Petro-Canada Teddy Bear Toss is this Sunday at Scotiabank Saddledome as the Calgary Hitmen welcome the Medicine Hat Tigers.
Game time is 4:00 p.m. with fans asked to bring a stuffed toy (or 2 or 3) to the game and toss it on the ice when the Hitmen score their first goal.
This year the demand for stuffed toys has increased, partly due to the flood Calgary experienced this past summer. Over 50 local agencies have requested more than 28,000 teddy bears.
Teddy Bear Toss tickets are still available at all Ticketmaster locations and the Saddledome box office.
Order online at www.ticketmaster.ca or by phone at 1-855-985-5000.
