Ferris State will partner with the local Salvation Army for Saturday's game, which will include the annual Teddy Bear Toss. Fans are encouraged to throw a new or slightly used teddy bear onto the ice at the first intermission to donate to kids in need during the holiday season.

Overall, FSU has posted more than 25 total sellouts at the Ewigleben Ice Arena since the second half of a historic 2011-12 campaign in which the Bulldogs reached the national championship game at the NCAA Frozen Four.
The Bulldogs, who have reached the NCAA Final Eight three times since 2012, are in their 44th campaign this fall and again face perhaps one of the country's toughest schedules as they seek their fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament in the last eight years.
Since 2012, the Bulldogs have made three NCAA Tournament appearances and advanced to the NCAA Final Eight all three times. FSU has also won two conference regular-season championships along with capturing the WCHA's Broadmoor Trophy once as the league's Final Five Champion. Along with a Frozen Four berth and national title game showing in 2012, FSU also has reached the regional final and the final eight of the NCAA Tournament in both 2014 and 2016.
