Local Peewee teams hold Teddy Bear Toss night

Just like the Western Hockey League’s Tigers, two peewee clubs held a Teddy Bear Toss for charity

Just one night after the Western Hockey League’s Medicine Hat Tigers held their annual Teddy Bear Toss, a pair of local peewee hockey teams held their own, donating all toys thrown on the ice to charity.

The Peewee Canadians met with the Knights, with the Knights coming away with an 83 victory.

Fans didn’t have to wait long to throw their stuffed animals onto the Canalta Centre Ice during the game, with William Davison scoring midway into the first, and fans hurled dozens of toys onto the ice.

Midget 15s

The SEAC Midget 15 Tigers struggles continued this weekend, with a pair of losses to division opponents.

Friday the team met with the Rockeyview Raiders for an evening match on the road.

The first-place Raiders made quick work of the Tigers with a 5-1 win, moving Rockeyview to a record of 14-1-1 and the Tigers to a record of 2-14-1.

Gavin Schroeder scored the lone Tigers goal at 3:01 in the second period.

Nate Hoffman was in net for the Tigers, making 32 saves on 37 shots.

The club returned home Saturday for an afternoon tilt against the NWCAA Bruins.
