WINONA, Minn. — The Saint Mary's University men's hockey team's Teddy Bear Toss is back! This year's event will be held on Saturday, Dec. 10, during the Cardinals' 7:05 p.m. home game against Milwaukee School of Engineering at the Saint Mary's Ice Arena.

Fans attending are encouraged to bring a teddy bear or stuffed animal — preferably new, but those in good used condition will also be accepted and appreciated. Teddy bears will also be available at the arena for a donation of $1.

Additionally, boxes will be located in the rink and in Saint Mary's Hall for the Saint Mary's community to place new and gently-used stuffed animals to be used in the toss. These donations are due by Friday, Dec. 3 at noon.

After the first Saint Mary's goal, fans will have an opportunity to throw their teddy bears and/or stuffed animals onto the ice. They will then be collected and distributed to children in the Winona area through the Toys for Kids program.
