Hershey Bears - Teddy Bear Toss 2023

On January 29, 2023, fans tossed 67,309 teddy bears and stuffed animals on to the rink, setting a new world record for the "Teddy Bear Toss". The toys are donated to area children's charities.
The stuffed toys are traditionally thrown on to the ice when the Hershey Bears team scores first. Unfortunately, this was the first time the Bears did not score a point in the game. With 5.4 seconds left and a 0-2 deficit against the Bridgeport Islanders, the fans started the cuddly mayhem, effectively ending the game.

If you ever feel like your job doesn't matter, just imagine being the announcer in the Bears arena.

If I was a bear and someone threw me onto the ice, I wouldn't mind.

This is not gang mentality the lady in the background is clueless

[@Pip8448]

Herd mentality, or if it's angry actions it's mob mentality. This is more herd though. And excitement, they've been holding those plushies the whole game for the opportunity to throw something (anything) onto the ice. The announcer could have done a better job to stop them, it was still slow at the beginning.
