HERSHEY, PA — If you haven’t seen Teddy Bear Toss Night in Hershey, are you even a hockey fan? Today, Bears’ fans broke the world record, donating 34,798 stuffed animals for a good cause. This surpasses the team’s record of 25,017 collected in 2017, and the world record of 28,815, previously set by the Western Hockey League’s Calgary Hitmen in 2015. 

The Bears would go on to win the game 6-3, and if you want to read more about the matchup, you can check that out here. Let’s move on to what you’re here for.

Ok, how crazy is it that the camera can pick up the strand of hair floating over Vitek’s right shoulder? Crazy.

Riley Barber scores the goal to unleash the teddy bears!

Gotta show love for the goal scorer.

There’s a Hershey Bear in there somewhere.

Back to the action with a goal from Shane Gersich.

And Walker scores.

And O’Brien scores.

Please never fight again Barber.

Hyping up the crowd on his way to the locker room. What a night for Barber and his Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

And a goal from Aaron Ness too.

Teddy Bear Toss Night is a wrap, and it’s a win boys. It’s a win.
