Get ready, Bison fans. One of the most heart-warming traditions in hockey is back at Planet Ice Basingstoke. On Saturday the 13th December, we’re hosting our annual Teddy Bear Toss.


We want the rink full, loud, and ready to make it snow soft toys the moment the Herd score their first goal. This is one of the biggest feel-good nights of the season and a chance for our hockey community to come together for an incredible cause.


How It Works


The rules are simple and the moment is magic:


As soon as the Bison score their first goal, fans can launch their teddy bears onto the ice.


Within seconds, the rink transforms into a blizzard of bears, all flying in for an amazing charity.


Our game night crew will collect every teddy and prepare them for donation.


If you’ve never seen it before, trust us – it’s a moment you’ll never forget.


Supporting Naomi House


Every teddy will be donated to Naomi House & Jacksplace, a charity we’ve proudly worked with for over 15 years. Your donation brings comfort and joy to seriously ill children and their families when they need it most. This event is one of the many ways the Bison family supports the incredible work Naomi House continues to do all year round.


What You Need To Bring


To make sure every bear can be safely donated:


A brand-new teddy bear


Wrapped in a clear plastic bag


This keeps the toys clean, safe, and easy for our team and the charity to distribute.


Why You Shouldn’t Miss It


A huge festive highlight in the Bison calendar


A brilliant family-friendly atmosphere


The chance to make a real difference this Christmas


Plus… a big home game where your throw might just celebrate the goal that kicks it all off


Let’s pack the rink, turn up the noise, and create our own blizzard of bears on Saturday the 13th December. Be part of the moment. Be part of the tradition. Be part of the Herd.
