Fans can purchase a teddy bear to bring with them to the game and toss it onto the ice during one of the game’s intermissions. Additionally, the team store at Pegula Ice Arena will have teddy bears available for purchase.

Every teddy bear thrown will be donated to Four Diamonds children being treated for pediatric cancer. In the 2022 iteration of the teddy bear toss, fans threw 1,755 bears onto the ice at Pegula.
