San Jose Sharks prospect Lucas Vanroboys scored the opening goal for the San Jose Barracuda to ignite the 2024 Teddy Bear Toss.

At 17:26 of the first period, Vanroboys took a loose puck on the side of the net and potted his 5th goal of the season to send Tech CU Arena into a frenzy. Scott Sabourin and Lucas Carlsson earned the assists. 

The game would head to the first intermission early to give the ice crew and volunteers enough time to clean up the piles of stuffed animals. The Teddys are being collected and sent to charity.

Check out a gallery of pictures from the moment and the ensuing chaos.
