"The best promotion in hockey—maybe in sports—is back for the holiday season, and nobody does the Teddy Bear Toss quite like the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen. With the first goal Sunday by Vladislav Yeryomenko, Calgary fans littered the ice with 24,605 stuffed animals, to be donated to 60 local agencies and given to deserving children.

The game was stopped for 35 minutes to collect all the stuffed animals, an extra intermission that nobody minded."

That's pretty awesome!

That is very cool.

I think the Jaguars had a similar promotion yesterday.

But I imagine it's going to be hard to collect those thrown beers to give them to the less fortunate.

Or all those yellow flags that usually end up on the field during the course of the game.
