Teddy bears will be tossed at a couple of Central Okanagan hockey rinks on Saturday.
While the Kelowna Chiefs are hosting their Teddy Bear Toss night at Rutland Arena, the West Kelowna Warriors will do the same at Royal LePage Place.
Fans are encouraged to bring a teddy bear to the game and when the Warriors score their first goal against the Wenatchee Wild, fans will hurl those bears onto the ice.
“This is a significant evening for us,” said Warriors President Chris Laurie.
“It allows us to provide a platform for our community to give back to the less fortunate throughout the Central Okanagan, and have a ton of fun doing it!”
All the bears that are collected after that first goal will be donated to Mamas for Mamas and it’s not the only charitable initiative happening on Saturday.
The Central Okanagan Food Bank will also be on hand to take cash and non-perishable food donations, which are always much needed at this time of year.
Puck drop is at 6 pm and the Warriors Happy Hour, where beer and wine are 50% off at the rink, will begin at 5 pm.
