It was an early Christmas present for the CKNW Orphans’ Fund.
The Vancouver Giants wore special jerseys for their annual Teddy Bear Toss night game at the 91Ô´´ Events Centre on Dec. 17 with fans able to bid on the game-worn jerseys.
And led by defenceman Darian Skeoch — whose jersey fetched a team-high $680 — $6,685 was raised and donated to the charity.
SLIDESHOW:
The barrage of bears in the was triggered by Bowen Byram’s third-period tally.
Vancouver is on a six-game winning streak and resumes the Western Hockey League season on Dec. 27 when they host the Everett Silvertips at the 91Ô´´ Events Centre.
