Bees Match Night Live! – What You Need to Know

Join us tonight as we welcome the Basingstoke Bison to the Slough Ice Arena. PLUS, tonight is our Annual Teddy Bear Toss.

Teddy Bear Toss is an Annual Event across the Ice Hockey community always for a good cause.

This year, the TSI World Bees will be supporting the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice. If you have a spare clean bear, or one you have purchased from a shop, don’t forget to bring it along in a carrier bag, with the opening securely closed to protect the teddy.

All you then need to do is to show your support and wait for the TSI World Bees to score their first goal. When the Bees score that first goal, everyone will be invited to ‘Air The Bear’ onto the ice. Should the TSI World Bees not score in the first period, our Match Night DJ will invite everyone to ‘Air The Bear’ onto the ice at the end of the period.

What does Alexander Devine do?

Alexander Devine provide essential support to families of children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions across Berkshire and the surrounding areas.

Support they offer includes Respite Care, Specialist Play, Symptom Management, Family Support, End of Live Care and Bereavement Support.
