The stuffies are back and ready for launch.
Following a pandemic hiatus, the annual Sarnia Sting Teddy Bear Toss is returning live and in person on Sunday, Dec. 5 at the Progressive Auto Sales Arena.
The event, now in its 24th year, features fans tossing stuffed toys onto the ice after the Sting score their first goal. The toys are collected and distributed to children over the holiday season.
“Our community has always shown their generosity and kindness by supporting this cause,” said Rob Ravensberg of Lambton Ford, which partners on the event with CHOK and the Sting.
“Together we have collected over 70,000 donations since the inception of this program, and we are proud to say that all these gifts have stayed in our community to help support the less fortunate.”
The Sting play the Kitchener Rangers on Dec. 5, with a 2 p.m. puck drop.
Tickets are available by calling at 519-541-1717 x 1, with children’s tickets just $8, plus HST.
