The Kitchener Rangers Teddy Bear Toss is always a special event, but with the Rangers hot on the heels of the Windsor Spitfires for the top spot in the OHL’s Western Conference, this year’s game against the Brantford Bulldogs has added significance. Could this energized atmosphere translate into a record-breaking number of teddy bears hitting the ice? What impact does a game like this, with its charitable focus, have on the young players involved? Does it add extra pressure to score that first goal quickly, or does it simply enhance the overall experience? Weigh in with your thoughts. I predict over 20,000 bears will rain down on the Aud this year. What’s your over/under? Furthermore, with the Bulldogs lagging behind in the standings, is this a guaranteed win for the Rangers, or could the Bulldogs play spoiler and steal a victory in this emotionally charged game? Let the discussion begin.
