More than 45,000 teddy bears were tossed on to the ice at a minor league hockey game in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The annual Teddy Bear Toss event happens once the Hershey Bears score their first goal of the new season. The stuffed animals are then collected and donated to local charities for the holiday season. The previous record in 2018 was just short of 35,000. The number of teddy bears exceeded the number of fans at the arena by almost five to one as the arena only holds a capacity of 10,500 people. After a 30-minute delay to collect the bears, the Bears went on to beat Hartford Wolfpack 4-3 in overtime
