It's an annual holiday tradition - the Teddy Bear Toss at a Rockford IceHogs hockey game. Then again, nothing is traditional about 2020.  This year, you'll drive your car through the BMO Harris Bank Center to toss your teddy - or make a clothing donation. IceHogs Director of Business Operations Mike Peck shares information on the event this Saturday (12/19) from 9am - noon. All donated items will be shared with Miss Carly's in Rockford.
