What to do.

It's the 25th annual teddy bear toss at the Aud when the Kitchener Rangers take on those pesky London Knights. Bring a new or gently used teddy bear to the game and, immediately following the Rangers first goal, throw the bear onto the ice surface. Bears will be collected and made available to local charitable organizations just in time for Christmas.
