After a quite some time out of the game with an injury, Vitek Vanecek returned to the Hershey Bears lineup. His return ended up being a 5-1 loss, which I know is not the start he wanted, but he’ll need some time to get back into game shape. Following the game, the Bears held a team autograph night, where fans could mingle with their favorite players for 75 minutes. Check out the full game recap here and keep scrolling to see the photos below!

There’s my little guy getting his jersey signed by Peluso. He lives for this night. Our Bears are so awesome for holding this event and bring so kind to my kid.
