Windsor Spitfires Annual Teddy Bear Toss Game

Windsor Spitfires Annual Teddy Bear Toss Game

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.

Goal of the Toss: This year, the team hopes to raise over 4,000 stuffed animals and increase community impact.

Tickets: can be purchased here.
