Teddy Bear Toss Presented by Rexall Returns on Thursday, December 11
The Peterborough Petes will host their annual Teddy Bear Toss game presented by Rexall on Thursday, December 11, when they host the Windsor Spitfires. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
Fans are asked to bring donations to the game, including stuffed animals, toques, gloves, and socks. Once the Petes score their first goal, participating fans can throw their donations onto the ice. The donations will then be collected and counted by Chemong Home Hardware Building Centre and donated in support of the Pete 99.7 and KX105 Christmas Toy Drive, in support of the Salvation Army’s Annual Christmas Appeal. Participating fans are asked to put their donations into a clear plastic bag in order to keep them from being damaged on the ice. Fans who can not attend the game, but wish to donate, can drop off their donations at the Petes Store before the game.
Rexall, the games presenting sponsor, will be selling stuffed bears in the lobby of the PMC before the game. Both small ($10) and large ($20) bears are available. Net proceeds from each bear sold will go towards the Rexall Care Network, in support of local food banks. Fans can purchase bears before Thursday at both Peterborough Rexall locations.
Very limited tickets for Thursday’s game are still available by clicking here, calling (705) 743-3561, or by visiting the Grant Thornton Box Office during business hours. The game will also be broadcast live on YourTV Peterborough, Freq 90.5., and Flo Hockey.
