Tossing Teddies: For the past 16 years the Calgary Hitmen have held a Teddy Bear Toss to benefit charities in Alberta. This year 16,844 fans helped cover the ice with 23,096 stuffed animals.

I remember seeing the video of this a couple of years ago and wishing that the AHL team near me could get enough people to show up for a game to make such a promotion worth while. I think it would be great to see all the teddy bears being tossed to the ice and that the kids would really get a kick out of the toys. Kudos to the Hitmen and other teams that do similar promotions.
