On December 21, 2018, the Hershey Bears beat the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in a 3-2 victory. But behind the scenes, Chocolate Hockey was following another team. The Hershey Bears equipment team are the unsung heroes of the Chocolate and White. Josh…
The Hershey Bears have set a world record for their 2018 Teddy Bear Toss. The former record, held by the Calgary Hitmen, was 28,815. That has now been surpassed with a new total of 34,798.
10,046 fans helped collect the stuffed plush to bring to Giant Center on Sunday. The game was delayed about 40 minutes for clean-up of the teddy bears, thanks to Riley Barber’s first period goal. After the game restarted, Shane Gersich gave Hershey a 2-1 lead. Hershey ended up winning the game 6-3.
Early on Tuesday morning, reports circulated that Axel Jonsson-Fjallby will be returning to his home country Sweden and leave Hershey.
During Monday’s NHL Winter Classic, former Hershey Bears forward Paul Carey picked up the first goal for the New York Rangers against the Buffalo Sabres.
Carey, 29, scored a goal on a feed from Jesper Fast for his fifth goal of the season with the Rangers only four minutes into the first period. Fast found Carey wide open in the slot, who would put the puck past Robin Lehner.
Sunday night in Hershey, Pennsylvania the American Hockey League affiliate of the Washington Capitals, the Hershey Bears, held their annual Teddy Bear Toss night.
Last week I had the pleasure to kick off the 2017-18 season of Chocolate Hockey Plays with Bears rookie defenseman Lucas Johansen as we played a game of NHL 18 together.
Funny enough, Johansen isn’t even in the game, so I took the time to make his player but not fill out his ratings. We let him pick his “overalls” in multiple categories with what stats he thinks he truly has.
Riley Barber would pick up his fourth goal of the season with a power-play goal Friday night in Providence to give the Bears a 1-0 lead over the Bruins.
Prior to Sunday night’s game, forward Riley Barber’s mom dropped the ceremonial puck. Stacy Barber, a breast cancer survivor, was greeted by her son at center ice to take the puck drop in front of a packed Giant Center crowd.
The two exchanged a hug before she dropped the puck. Hartford captain Joe Whitney joined the two of them for the photo opportunity.
The Hershey Bears picked up their first win of the season Saturday night against Grand Rapids, scoring four goals in the proccess. Three of Hershey’s goals came from Chandler Stephenson, who scored his first AHL hat trick behind four total points on the night for the Chocolate and White.
I got the chance to sit down with Chris Bourque for our first edition of The Wrap Around earlier this week. Here is the extended version of our interview where we talk about his time during his nine seasons in Hershey, meeting fans, and his super awesome Montreal Expos hat.
