The minor league hockey team in Calgary, Alberta has a holiday tradition that they call the Teddy Bear Toss. Everyone who comes to the game is encouraged to bring a teddy bear or 2 to the game to be distributed to underprivileged kids. When the Calgary Hitmen score their first goal, the spectators throw the teddy bears on the ice -How many teddy bears? Would you believe over 25,000!!!check it out:[video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPP7iqMqd74][/video]
