13452419, throwing the bears on to the rink
Posted by Crash Bandacoot, Mon Jan-24-22 10:36 AM
can someone explain the meaning behind it?
13452439, in hockey? Its usually for a toy drive

no idea what else it could mean
13452440, okay

wasn't familiar with it. im assuming the staff would have to
gather all of the thrown objects dispersed everywhere. why not just
have people put them into a box. seems kinda dirty.
13452453, its prolly fun to throw stuff onto the ice without getting in trouble

I think Hershey had 45,000 bears last time they did it.

I bet they wouldn’t get 5,000 if they asked people to bring them to the game and toss them in a box by the entrance

there's other history of throwing stuff on ice in the sport, hats for a hat trick, there was some reason a certain team threw octopuses on the rink but I can't remember why. but its in that vein.
13452484, the octopus shit is weird af. What if they get shut out?

You just sit there all game with a stinking as octopus?

Do you take it home or chuck it in the trash on the way out?

did some research and found out it was first done before a series to represent 8 wins needed for the cup. Still weird as hell.
