Triggering one of the most amazing sights in all of sports, Spencer Bennett of the Portland Winterhawks (Portland, Ore.) scores the 2009 "Teddy Bear Goal" at 2:52 of the first period on Saturday, November 28 against the rival Seattle Thunderbirds in front of 10197 fans in the Rose Garden. 16321 bears were collected at the game and will be donated to children's charities throughout the greater Portland Metro area.

I WAS AT THIS GAME!
They should do this in the NHL!!!
Ryan Johansen is a beauty
Because they got 16,000 of them even though there were only 10,000 fans there. Try doing something like this at an LA Lakers game – you’d be lucky if fans brought 1,000 to throw onto the court.
thank you very much! xD
This is freakin’ awesome!!
Kudos to the fans. Those bears will make some needy kids very happy!
After the first goal, fans throw teddy bears onto the ice that are later donated to children’s hospitals and charities.
Hi.. i’m not from usa. Can anyone explain to me what’s the point of this? I can’t get it.

WHL (Part of the CHL)
why put it in a box? Its more about how much it is
What league was that???? that got a bigger crowd then most nhl games
What is so amazing about this?
Instead of having people put the teddy bears in a box before the game, they make it a gimmick by having them throw them on the ice.
So?

Unbelievable! I want to see a major league team do this some day. Maybe the Bruins can have one, it’s a perfect fit. or the Ducks can have a Mickey Mouse Throwdown! or a Stuffed Duck Session?
