A lot of hockey fans filled up the Tucson Convention Center on Friday night, and there were also some humans as well.
The Tucson Roadrunners hosted their first-ever Teddy Bear Toss against the Ontario Reign, and just 4:45 into the game, long-time Arizona Coyotes defenseman Zbynek Michalek buried the biscuit in the basket, and the teddy bears made their way to the ice.
“It’s pretty cool to see all those bears come over the boards,” Tucson goaltender Adin Hill said afterwards. “There’s nothing like it...special.”
The best part comes at 2:30 of the video when a giant teddy bear slowly climbs down the stairs on a fan’s back, and then gets a standing ovation when it tumbles over the glass.
