The teddy bear toss, an NLL first, was triggered when the Mammoth scored their first goal in the second quarter, a rifle from Mammoth newcomer Ryan Benesch.
This. Is. Awesome. @MammothLax Ryan Benesch scores. Here come the teddy bears!
All to benefit @apreciouschild. #TuskUp #Mammoth pic.twitter.com/tnthVtid2I

All single game tickets purchased for the home opener included a bear to toss onto the field and season ticket holders were offered opportunities to purchase extras.
The thousands of bears dressed in their Mammoth shirts that landed onto the turf, will be donated to A Precious Child and the children that they serve.
Your teddy bears made it to the field!
Thank you AND #TUSKUP pic.twitter.com/f1pyriMUIh
