A ninth game featuring a storm of stuffed animals awaits on the first Saturday in December as the T-Birds invite fans to bring new teddy bears into the MassMutual Center as part of the annual Teddy Bear Toss. When the T-Birds tally their first goal of the night, throw the bears & other stuffed animals onto the ice for collection and donation to youth in the greater Springfield area ahead of the holiday season! For the third consecutive season, the night will also feature a holiday-inspired jersey.
