Teddy Bear Toss with Kennett Hockey
This past weekend, the Varsity Ice Hockey team at Kennett High School (North Conway, NH) held their 3rd Annual Teddy Bear Toss event. Fans are asked to bring a new stuffed animal to the game and get a chance to toss those stuffed animals on to the ice after the game. This year, 135 bears were collected and will be sent to patients currently being treated at Boston Children's Hospital.
The event is primarily organized by ice hockey team junior Mackenzie Murphy, who is also a member of the NHIAA Statewide Leadership Committee. Congratulations to the entire Kennett Ice Hockey team, coaches, and fans for participating in this great event!
