GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - On Friday night, it wasn't just hockey players on the ice at Van Andel Arena. There were also teddy bears.
The Grand Rapids Griffins held their 19th annual Teddy Bear Toss in their game against the Milwaukee Admirals. Fans were encouraged to bring new teddy bears and stuffed animals to throw on the ice after the Griffins scored their first goal.
The teddy bear toss benefits the Hug-A-Bears of Kent County, an organization that provides comfort and support to children in traumatic situations.
