It's time for my favorite regular season game of the year! A game that combines my love of hockey, my love of giving, and my love of throwing stuff. It's the Spokane Chiefs annual teddy bear toss game against the Kootenay Ice. It's also a good pick for the visiting team. Kootenay fans absolutely rock! I'm sure they will be participating as well. So for all of you going to the game Saturday get ready to get your toss on! As you can see from the picture I'm loaded and ready. Also, try not to be late. Two years ago the Chiefs scored the first goal just two minutes into the game. Watching the fans who were late mad rush to throw their bears was pretty funny.
So which Chief is getting the teddy bear goal? It's not always a high goal scorer. Last year's goal went to Mike Reddington. Not only is he a defensemen, but it was also his first goal of the season. Levko Koper is probably one of the odds on favorites with Drayson Bowman and Mitch Wahl. Tyler Johnson? That could happen. Another defensemen, perhaps? Jared Cowen or even Stefan Ulmer come to mind. Seth Compton is a dark horse along with any of the rookies. I'm almost going with Mitch Wahl on this but I think I'll be a little bit different.
My prediction: It will be the Captain. Justin McCrae is my pick to get the teddy bear goal late into the first period!
Go Chiefs and go bears!
