Awesome Charity-Driven Sports Tradition: Calgary Hitmen Teddy Bear Toss

This year was the 18th Anniversary of the Teddy Bear Toss in Calgary. Every year, after the first goal is scored, the fans in attendance throw teddy bears onto the ice. This year, the 16,912 fans threw 21,453 bears. Every bear is then given to needy children for the holidays. This nothing short of amazing. Over the years, Hitmen fans have donated over 213,000 bears!

Awesome Trailer: Man of Steel

Superman is a very tough character to make interesting. He's practically invincible which makes it hard to build drama and tension. This latest attempt looks epic. We just hope the story holds up to the visuals.
