Makes sense to me.

If this is a new AHL rule will the NHL have to adopt it as well?

Don't know that the NHL goes in for teddy bear tosses.

Reminds me of the time in Manchester when some Monarch fans tried to throw a giant Snoopy on the ice. Damn thing was so big and heavy it took twenty people working in unison to get it up and over the glass.

Comment on radio play-by-play (or during Sharks broadcast I caught this morning as I was at the game last night) was it took 25 fans to get it up and over the glass (plus Goodrow).

What happens if a team having the toss doesn't score? I wonder if that's ever happened.

Yes its happened. I've seen it three times actually. Usually they do the three stars then the announcer calls for the bears to be thrown, although often by that point the bears are already flying in disgust.

I've been to some road games where the host team wasn't very good, and they actually scheduled the toss for the first intermission. Whether this was because they were afraid of getting shut out, or to avoid the delay during the game I don't know for sure.

Worcester seemed to be shut out "every" time they had a Teddy Bear toss.

Fans were instructed to throw at end of game.

I always wondered because I've never experienced that.

I figured its different by market because of the sizes. I figured most people who bring bears to the games are season ticket holders.

Barracuda sponsor provided small teddy bears for fans to throw.
