Hundreds of Teddy Bears Rain Down on Home Ice

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser

The second annual Teddy Bear Toss was held on March 3 at Wally Fedun Arena in Vegreville.

The event, hosted by the Vegreville Vipers Junior A hockey club, was a huge success. Vipers General Manager Bryan Brown said they had about 400 fans in the stands and they collected 300 teddy bears.

Brown said they received a lot of great comments from the fans and how well the organization runs its events “which makes me proud of the job we do and what we bring to the community.”

All of the teddy bears go to the less fortunate, and are donated to the fire department and first responders to hand out in and around the surrounding communities.
