The Vernon Vipers' annual Teddy Bear Toss takes place Saturday evening at Kal Tire Place.

The BC Hockey League team will be hosting the Cranbrook Bucks.

Ffans are encouraged to bring a stuffie in a bag to toss onto the ice when the Vipers score their first goal.

With a relaxation of public health mandates in the Interior, the Vipers will also be allowed to fill the arena as COVID capacity restrictions have been lifted.

The arena can now be filled to 100 per cent capacity, but masks and vaccine passports remain mandatory.
