@TheGooberDoo actually...OSHA would approve if you inform ahead of time and gotten permission. but i doubt OHSA ruling would apply to this, as OSHA only apply to workplace and the hocky rink does not qualify. check it out yourself.

and as for the person that liable to sue, they can't. if they did, they would only been deem cold-hearted and everyone that hear about it would prob start something against that person. then there the fact that the hocky place would post notice about this event.

Ahh, stfu with that stupid american bullsh/t. Canada's got regulations out the wazoo with a 1/5 as many people. Try catching a fish in Canada without a permit...the lake police light you up like you're robbin a f'n bank. Go live there, and make half as much money and enjoy your sh/t food and 3rd rate steaks and burgers.

@Gakahn Actually there are usually more bears then people. If you check out the Yahoo link you can see that 16,844 fans threw 23,096 bears. Obviously, some fans brought multiple bears.

I don't know how many fans were at this game but I would 1) like to know myself and 2) guess that it was less than 26k.

@caressmecarissa well apparently 26,919 people bought one and threw it at the players
