Teddy Bear Toss
It's the very special annual Teddy Bear Toss tonight. Teddies and soft toys must be brand-new and wrapped in a clear plastic bag to prevent them getting wet after landing on the ice.
Please throw your teddies if Panthers score during the first period on Friday. If they don't score by the end of the first period, please throw your teddies when the hooter goes for the first intermission.

The winning puck is the one that lands closest to Paws at centre ice. They cost £1 each from the foyer and Chuck-a-Puck takes place at the start of the second intermission.
