Teddy Bear Toss tease — Chyzowski, Blazers’ fans robbed of warm, fuzzy moment after disallowed goal

It was nothing against Minnie Mouse, but Kamloops Blazers’ forward Jermaine Loewen didn’t look thrilled to be in her company. On Teddy Bear Toss Day, fans are encouraged to launch stuffed animals and winter wear onto the ice after the Blazers’ first goal. The haul is donated to local charities, part of the tradition that started in Kamloops in 1993 and is now a fixture in junior hockey cities across North America.
