For those who have never attended the annual Vancouver Giants Teddy Bear Toss in recent years, first where have you been as this is one of the most successful and fun events you will ever want to take in.

In the past it has been held at their old home on Renfrew Street at the PNE’s Coliseum former home for the NHL Vancouver Canucks, but since then it’s in Langley at the Events Centre.

Well, I stand corrected as last year (2018) it  was again held at the Coliseum and regardless of the location, it was once again a huge success.

The Vancouver Giants are working in partnership with Chevrolet are thrilled to reveal the 2019 Grinch-themed Teddy Bear Toss jerseys that will be worn at both home games, first on December 6th as they host Spokane (7:30 PM) at their home rink (LEC) then on Sunday, December 8th as hey host Tri-City Americans.

Giants VP Operations & Assistant General Manager, Peter Toigo mentioned “Teddy Bear Toss is one of the most exciting traditions in all of hockey and we are very excited to debut these jerseys next weekend for our fans and all game-worn Teddy Bear Toss jerseys will autographed and sold via online auction with proceeds going towards the CKNW Kids’ Fund.”
