MISSISSAUGA, ON – The Mississauga Steelheads, in partnership with Canadian Tire, are set to host their Annual Teddy Bear Toss game on Sunday, December 4th at 4 p.m., when the London Knights visit the Paramount Fine Foods Centre. Now in its tenth year, the Teddy Bear Toss supports Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities (Jumpstart) and their 
mission to help kids in need participate in sport and play. Since 2005, Jumpstart has helped more than 3 million kids across Canada.
As is tradition, fans are encouraged to bring a stuffed toy to the Teddy Bear Toss game or purchase a teddy bear on the concourse, which will be available for sale both prior to and during the game. When the Steelheads score their first goal of the game, fans can toss the stuffed animals onto the ice for collection.
All the stuffed toys collected from the ice and all the funds raised from teddy bear sales at the game will be donated to Boys and Girls Club of Peel.
“The Annual Teddy Bear Toss is a cherished tradition that provides meaningful support to local kids in need,” said Marco Di Buono, President of Jumpstart. “Because of this event, more kids will have the opportunity to access the joy of sport and physical activity. We are thankful to Canadian Tire, the Mississauga Steelheads and their dedicated fans for their longstanding support of Jumpstart and generosity this holiday season.”
The Teddy Bear Toss game is one of many Steelheads’ Winning Nights, an initiative that allows fans to redeem their ticket at the box office for a free ticket to a predetermined redemption game. If the Steelheads secure two points against the Knights, fans in attendance will be able to redeem their tickets for the game on Sunday, December 18th at 2 p.m., when the Steelheads face off against the Kitchener Rangers.
Additionally, fans can take advantage of the Steelheads’ Holiday Pack for the Teddy Bear Toss game, where they can purchase four tickets, four toques, four drinks and four bags of popcorn for just $110, including tax. Select Holiday Pack in the filter menu on Ticketmaster to take advantage of this deal.
Following the Teddy Bear Toss game, fans will have the opportunity to participate in an autograph signing with Steelheads players on the concourse. Fans will be directed after the game to the designated autograph area.
