Around 175 teddy bears were collected for the local Santa Cause organization during the Carnduff Red Devils 4-3 home win over the Oxbow Huskies Saturday night in the Big 6 Hockey League.
The bears hit the ice when Nico Anderson opened the scoring 12:52 into the first period, and were picked up by the Carnduff U9 hockey team.

But Justin Hollinger and Mark Moriarty scored to even the game 3-3. Matthew Audette scored the winner with 36 seconds left in the third.
Carnduff won 5-2 the night before in Oxbow, and is now on a three-game winning streak. The Huskies and Red Devils will meet again on Friday night.
