Once again, we’re inviting fans to bring a new, soft teddy bears to the game — and when the Stars score their first goal of the night, let those teddies fly!
Every bear that hits the ice will go directly towards brightening the festive season for local children who need it most.
This year’s donations will support:
-
Ninewells Hospital Children’s Ward
- MKM Building Supplies Toy Appeal
-
Dundee Bairns
-
Help for Kids
-
Mission Christmas – Cash for Kids
Last year, Stars supporters set an unbelievable new club record with 745 teddy bears landing on the ice after our opening goal — a moment that showcased the generosity, spirit, and power of our fanbase. We can’t wait to see if we can beat it this year!
Michael Ward the Commercial and Community Manager for the MKM Dundee Stars commented;
“Every season, this night is one of the moments we all look forward to the most.
As a club, we’re incredibly proud of what the Teddy Toss night has become over the years.
Across the seasons, our amazing fans have donated thousands of teddies, each one going directly to children and families across Tayside who need a little extra joy at this time of year.
It’s a tradition that shows exactly what our Stars family is all about — generosity, community spirit and coming together for a great cause.
I’d like to remind everyone that all teddies must be new, not pre-loved, and should be brought in a carrier bag or similar, just to protect them from getting wet when they hit the ice.
These small steps make a huge difference in ensuring every toy arrives in perfect condition for the children who receive them.
Seeing the teddies rain down after that first goal truly signals the start of the festive period for us.
Thank you to every fan who takes part — your kindness and amazing community spirit make this event something really special.”
So grab your most festive Christmas jumper, pack a teddy, and join us for a night of joy, colour and community spirit.
Because when the teddies hit the ice…Christmas truly starts at the Dundee Ice Arena
