The Teddy Bear Toss might be the greatest tradition in hockey.

Not only is it a great way to get fans in the seats, but where else do you get to see thousands of teddy bears fly from the stands onto the ice and have it all be for a good cause?

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms recently hosted their annual Teddy Bear Toss game and on Monday afternoon a bunch of the players made the trip down to the Valley Youth House to personally deliver the stuffed animals to the kids.



Phantoms fans smashed the franchise’s previous record of 7,148 this year as they tossed more than 10,000 stuffed animals onto the ice this past weekend, so there will be thousands of kids with a smile on their face this holiday season.



That’s what it’s all about.
