A game circled on the calendar each and every year the Sarnia Sting Teddy Bear Toss is one of the most anticipated of the season. An opportunity for the Sarnia Sting and fans, in partnership with Finch Ford Lincoln and the Salvation Army to help provide a Christmas gift to youth in our community who may not have one otherwise.

The magical event, unites our community with a giving spirit as the capacity crowd floods the ice with plush toys when the Sting score their first goal of the evening, the bears are then collected, counted and distributed to local charities throughout the Sarnia-:Lambton area.

Only a select few will have the opportunity to engrave their name in Sarnia Sting history as the one to score “the goal” and to this date no member of the Sting has been able to repeat this feat.

TOTAL STUFFED TOY COUNT: 79,200
