    The Laval Rocket collected 11,885 stuffed animals during its traditional Teddy Bear Toss Game held on Saturday, November 22, at Place Bell.

    It was a goal by defenseman David Reinbacher that set off the avalanche of teddy bears onto the ice surface.

    The Rocket players then kept the festive spirit alive with a decisive 7–2 victory over the Belleville Senators.

    Defenseman Adam Engström stood out with one goal and four assists for five points, tying a franchise record. This performance also earned the Swedish player AHL Player of the Week honors, as well as a call-up to the Montreal Canadiens.

    Along with Engström, Sean Farrell (2-1-3), Owen Beck (0-3-3), David Reinbacher (2-0-2), Laurent Dauphin (0-2-2), and Filip Mesar (1-1-2) all recorded at least two points in the game.

    The win was credited to goaltender Jacob Fowler, who made 14 saves on 16 shots.

    Teddy Bear Distribution

    Remember that all stuffed animals collected during the event will be donated to 31 organizations across the Greater Montréal region.
