My college's hockey team has a teddy bear toss. All the toys thrown on the ice were given to children in need for Christmas. This is another reason why hockey is my favorite sport.

Lots of teams do this (mostly minor league though). Wish my hometown Capitals (NHL) would do something like that.

but the NFL wears pink and if your buy their pink shit, a whooping 8% goes to breast cancer

I mean, 8% is not bad. It's better than zero. Why so angry?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Well its not like the NFL needs the other 92%

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

And then the breast cancer foundation uses a whooping 0.1% of that on actual cancer research.

I played in the CHL we also do this tradition. Upwards of 20,000 teddy bears thrown on the ice at once

Unfortunately, they don't do that in hockey, anymore. They (NHL) also took away most of the full contact. Next we'll have NFL flag football.

They still fight, just much less; players that can't do anything apart from fight and intimidate don't get a place on the teams anymore.

The contact is definitely still there. Every night has big hits, enforcers are being phased out for faster more skilled players

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I question the use of 'unfortunately' to describe this outcome.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 3

The unfortunate thing is that the checks and full contact have gone away. The fighting has lessened as a result. I miss old time hockey.

Don't the bears get wet and stinky from being on the ice?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Probably not, the ice doesn't melt that fast and I'm sure they pick them up in a timely manner

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Nah, they get a little bit frosty, but pick up takes 10 minutes tops. Not enough time to get wet.

Calgary Hitmen do this every year, literally thousands of teddy bears get tossed on the ice.

This happens for my local WHL (western hockey league) team. The Portland Winterhawks.. a lot of times the ice will be completely covered.

does the Ref give the home team a penalty for interference? Or does visitor team know it's going to happen?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It happens at the first goal from the home team, so they know it's going to happen.
