102,343 soft toys hit the ice in a moment of “sweet, pleasant chaos,” according to the American Hockey League team. It is about the traditional event “Teddy Bear Toss”, which took place on Sunday.
Reference
The Teddy Bear Toss is a popular Christmas promotion most often seen in junior and minor league hockey games. Fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears or other soft toys to the game and throw them onto the ice when the home team scores their first goal. The toys are collected to be given as gifts to hospitals and charities.
That’s what happened during the meeting between the Hershey Bears (Hershey, Pennsylvania) and the Providence Bruins (the main development team of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League) in the AHL:

102,343 (!) teddy bears of all kinds were recorded – meaning the Pennsylvania team surpassed their previous record of 74,599 set last year.
Addition
The annual Teddy Bear Raffle has been held by the Hershey Bears Hockey Club since 2001, and this year’s event broke the previous record of 74,599 toys collected in 2024.
According to the club, soft toys will be distributed among 35 local charities.
