Springfield Thunderbirds

Springfield Thunderbirds

For a second consecutive year, the Springfield Thunderbirds collected Teddy Bears from local fans during their match against the Bridgeport Tigers at the MassMutual Center. The Teddy Bear Toss is becoming a fan favorite that leads to a special visit for our families. Over 3,000 bears were hand-delivered by Thunderbirds players, staff and their mascot “Boomer”, to the House and other organizations in the Pioneer Valley. Thank you so much to the Thunderbirds and Springfield Hockey fans for a fun furry day!
