In 2019, Hershey fans set a record by tossing 45,650 toys onto the ice and this year, that record was SHATTERED.
After Bears forward Axel Jonsson-Fjällby scored the first goal in the opening period, 52,341 studded animals were tossed onto the rink, setting a new world record!
According to the NY Post, each stuffed animal collected is donated across 25 organizations and charities in the Hershey community!
