December 02, 2025 | Women's Hockey, Badgers Give Back

Women's hockey game delivers more than 500 stuffed animals to local families

MADISON, Wis. – The Teddy Toss tradition returned to LaBahn Arena on Thursday, November 20, as BMO partnered with Wisconsin Athletics Women's Ice Hockey to host the annual community event. Sophomore Grace Bickett collected her first career goal just seconds before the arena erupted as fans tossed more than 500 teddy bears and stuffed animals onto the ice.

Following the toss, student-athletes, alumni, and Wisconsin Athletics staff joined the Women's Ice Hockey team on the ice to gather the donations, continuing a tradition that brings together fans and the broader Badger community in a moment of shared excitement and generosity.

This year's stuffed animals will find new homes with Wisconsin Athletics' Kohl Center neighbors, Bayview Community Center and The Neighborhood House. The donations will be distributed to local families, helping spread comfort and joy throughout the holiday season.
