Elmira, NY The Elmira Jackals invite everyone to join in to their Charitable Efforts over the weekend in the spirit of giving during the holiday season.
Fans can bring in brand new teddy bears on their own or they can purchase teddy bears at the game. As soon as the puck goes in the net for the first Elmira goal, fans then throw all their teddy bears onto the ice in celebration of the Jackals and the holiday spirit of giving. The Jackals will collect all the bears thrown on to the ice and the players will deliver the teddy bears in person to children in area hospitals.
Saturday Night will also feature a special contest from the Gold, Silver & Diamond Store The Great Diamond Giveaway.
