Silver Knights fans were able to join a tradition popular among minor league hockey teams.

The team hosted its first teddy bear toss called “Lucky Launch” at The Orleans Arena on Sunday.

Video on Twitter showed several hundred stuffed animals being tossed over the glass onto the ice after the team’s first goal against the Abbotsford Canucks. The Knights won 3-1.

All stuffed animals collected were to be donated to Toys for Tots.
