HARTFORD, CT – The Hartford Wolf Pack are set to participate in one of the most exciting traditions of the hockey season this Saturday night when the club hosts their annual Teddy Bear Toss Game at the XL Center.
The Wolf Pack will take on the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the final time at the XL Center this season, with the puck drop set for 7:00 p.m. When the Wolf Pack scores their first goal of the night, fans are asked to throw a teddy bear or stuffed animal onto the ice!
All teddy bears and stuffed animals thrown onto the ice will be donated to Toys for Tots and the Connecticut Children’s Hospital.
For children who do not make the game on Saturday night but are attending the game on Friday night, you are asked to bring a new or gently used teddy bear or stuffed animal to the game to donate for Saturday night. Bears and stuffed animals will be collected at the Wolf Pack sales table behind section 101 on Friday night and thrown onto the ice following the Wolf Pack’s first goal on SaPack’s night.
The Wolf Pack will also be wearing specialty jerseys adorned in the colors of the Connecticut Children’s Hospital. The children will be worn on Friday and Saturday nights and auctioned off online via the DASH auctions app.
The proceeds from this auction, which opens on Monday, December 4th, at 7:00 p.m. and runs through Friday, December 8th, at 10:00 p.m., will be going to the Connecticut Children’s Hospital.
