Bear necessities: Hershey hockey fans set record by throwing more than 52,000 stuffed bears on ice
The Washington Capitals' American Hockey League affiliate set a record Saturday but it had nothing to do with hockey.
Fans of the Hershey Bears participated in the Teddy Bear Toss and threw 52,341 stuffed bears on the ice after a first-period goal. All the bears will be donated to children at local charities.
The Hershey Bears owned the previous record of 45,650, which it set in 2019.
Hershey fans began tossing the stuffed animals onto the ice after Jonsson-Fjallby's goal against Hartford Wolf Pack; Hershey won 5-0.
