The London Knights once again brought holiday cheer to thousands of families with their annual Teddy Bear Toss game on December 4th at Canada Life Place. In front of an electrified crowd, the Knights set a new team record by collecting an incredible 15,926 teddy bears, all of which will be donated to The Salvation Army to brighten the holiday season for children and families in need. Overage forward Landon Sim had the honor of scoring the highly anticipated Teddy Bear Toss goal for the second time in his career. His goal, 27 minutes into the game, unleashed a sea of stuffed animals cascading onto the ice, a heartwarming sight and a cherished tradition for both fans and players.
The Salvation Army will ensure these bears find their way into the arms of children across the community, spreading joy and comfort during a time when it’s needed most. Each bear represents a gesture of kindness from the fans who filled the arena, demonstrating the incredible spirit of giving that defines this annual event. While the Knights continued their on-ice dominance with a 3-0 win over the Owen Sound Attack and extended their remarkable winning streak to 19 games, the real victory of the night was felt off the ice. The 15,926 teddy bears collected stand as a testament to the power of community and the generosity of London Knights fans. The Finch Auto Group is proud to support the London Knights and events like the Teddy Bear Toss, which highlight the importance of giving back and making a meaningful difference in our community. Here’s to another successful Teddy Bear Toss and the thousands of smiles it will create this holiday season!
