Belleville Sens Teddy Bear Toss presented by McDonald’s returns for 2026

Belleville Sens fans will let the fur fly for a good cause at their annual Teddy Bear Toss, presented by McDonald’s, on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at CIBC Place. 

Sens fans are encouraged to bring a new stuffed toy to the game against the Syracuse Crunch (AHL Affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning) and toss it onto the ice when Belleville scores its first goal of the game! Those toys will then be distributed to kids around the Quinte Region through the Belleville Firefighters Toy Drive. 

“The Teddy Bear Toss is one of our most requested theme nights of the season, and one of the most impactful, given the time of year and the amount of reach these donations have around the Quinte Region,” said Belleville Sens Vice President of Business Operations John Mathers. “We’re also excited to welcome McDonald’s on board as a presenting partner to help elevate an already special night and encourage our fans to come together in support of families who may need a helping hand this holiday season.”

” We are very thankful to the Belleville Senators for continuing to support the Belleville Professional Firefighters Toy Drive through the Annual Teddy Bear Toss. Events like this are crucial in helping to make sure that all children in our community can have a special Christmas,” said BPFA Benevolence Chair Richard Quick. “The generosity of the Belleville Senators and the fans have played a crucial role in making this program a continued success year after year. 782 children received gifts last year through the Belleville Professional Firefighters Toy Drive, and that wouldn’t be possible without partnerships like this.” 

To kick-start the donations, True North Roofing has committed 100 toys to the event. If you can’t bring one, or want to toss another, find their concourse table before the game to grab a toy to toss! 

Fans can also expect plenty of holiday fun around CIBC Place, with holiday music, appearances from Belly and his mascot friends, and even a visit from Santa! 

The Locker Room Store will also be a great spot for holiday shopping, with Belly plush toys on sale (two for $40) and 20% off hoodies. It will also be the last day for fans to submit custom jersey orders in time for Christmas delivery. 

The Sens are also announcing details for the club’s 2026 Holiday Ticket Pack, which launches on Monday, November 16 and includes four flex vouchers, a player-signed mystery puck and a Belleville Sens holiday card, with packages starting at $99. Fans who purchase a Holiday Ticket Pack before December 1 will also receive one free ticket to the Teddy Bear Toss presented by McDonald’s on December 12. 

Single-game tickets for the Belleville Sens 2026 Teddy Bear Toss presented by McDonald’s are available now via Ticketmaster, or at the Belleville Sens Box Office during opening hours.
