GAME SUMMARY: Tomahawks spoil Red Wings Teddy Bear Toss

HIGH PRAIRIE, AB

After coming off of a big win over the Red Wings last weekend in the Old Barn, The Tomahawks looked to do it again last night in the High Prairie Sports Palace. This was the tightest game that these two teams have ever played, which made it super special, but what made it more special, was the fact it was teddy bear toss night. Data on how many bears were thrown and how much money was raised has still yet to be released at the time of writing this, but there we definitely enough bears so that children have a lovable stuffed animal to cherish this holiday season. On behalf of the Tomahawks organization, congratulations Coach Trent Meyaard and crew on a successful teddy bear toss! Here's the recap!
