Fans who bring five or more bears to the game will be entered to win an Oil Kings prize, according to the team.

In 2019, the Teddy Bear Toss was sold out and saw the team collect a record 16,491 bears.
Tickets for Saturday’s game against the Moose Jaw Warriors are still available with puck drop at 7 p.m. All fans entering Rogers Place will have to follow COVID-19 protocols.
