Hershey Bears Teddy Bear Toss

In a sight that truly must be seen, tens of thousands of stuffed animals will come raining down on Sunday, Jan. 7, at GIANT Center, the Hershey-home of the 12-time Calder Cup Championship Hershey Bears.

The Bears take the ice to battle the Lehigh Valley Phantoms that afternoon at 3 p.m. This world-famous event sees fans throw teddy bears and other stuffed animals onto the ice following the team’s first goal of the game. The Bears are the hockey world-record holders for the teddy bear toss, collecting 67,309 stuffed animals for local charities during the 2023 event.

The GIANT Teddy Bear Toss has collected 389,508 teddy bears since its inception in 2001.
