The Heart of Hockey: Understanding the Teddy Bear Toss

The Teddy Bear Toss is a beloved tradition across the minor league hockey world, and the Maine Mariners have made it a cornerstone event in Portland. The premise is as simple as it is beautiful: fans are encouraged to come to the game armed with new or gently-used stuffed animals. The entire arena waits in breathless anticipation for the Mariners to score their first goal of the game.

The moment that puck hits the back of the net, the ice is flooded with a joyous downpour of thousands of teddy bears and stuffed animals, thrown from every corner of the Cross Insurance Arena. This spectacular, chaotic, and beautiful scene is more than just a celebration—it’s a massive charity drive. Every single toy is painstakingly collected from the ice by the players and staff and donated directly to local organizations, including Toys for Tots and the South Portland Fire Department, to be distributed to children in need during the holiday season.

The 2025 Teddy Bear Toss, presented by Bath Savings, is set for Saturday, December 6, 2025, and this special jersey is the official uniform for that unforgettable night.

Jersey Design: A Closer Look at This Festive Uniform

The Maine Mariners Our Teddy Bear Toss Special Hockey Jersey is a masterclass in festive, meaningful design, capturing the joy of the event in every stitch.

• Vibrant Color Scheme: The jersey’s base is a striking powder blue, evoking a crisp winter sky and providing the perfect backdrop for the colorful design elements.

• The “Toss” Design: The entire bottom half of the jersey, along with the sleeve cuffs, is adorned with a massive, vibrant pile of colorful teddy bears of all shapes and sizes. This graphic perfectly represents the thousands of toys that will cover the ice.

• Floating Bears: To complete the “toss” effect, individual teddy bears—green, brown, and tan—are “tossed” across the upper chest, shoulders, and back of the jersey, as if frozen in mid-air.

• Iconic Team Branding: The front of the jersey is proudly emblazoned with the Maine Mariners “ME” trident logo in the team’s signature dark blue, rising above the pile of bears.

• Official Sponsorship: The jersey features the Hannaford to go sponsor logo on the chest, a key partner of the 2025-26 Mariners season.
