Speaker 1: at this very moment, Let's talk hockey Cyclones home this
Speaker 1: Saturday for the coolest thing you'll ever see their Teddy
Speaker 1: Bear toss matt Enee against the Fort Wayne Comments. For
Speaker 1: more on that, Let's go straight to the source, the
Speaker 1: outstanding play by play voice of yours Cincinnati Cyclones. That
Speaker 1: would be Rudy Hodgson. How are you?
Speaker 2: I am great, Thanks for having me on. Great to
Speaker 2: hear your voice. And I'm excited to see the Teddy
Speaker 2: Bears fly here at Fitch Banks Center this weekend. How
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 1: I am well, And I'm excited about this because I
Speaker 1: love when you you can paint the picture of all this,
Speaker 1: because the visual it is iconic. Explain the concept in
Speaker 1: what's going to happen?
Speaker 2: Absolutely so. The Cyclone post of Fort Wayne comments, this Saturday,
Speaker 2: it's a four pm puck trump And for those that
Speaker 2: don't know what the teddy bear toss is, once the
Speaker 2: Cyclones score their first goal of the game, you can
Speaker 2: bring as many bears as you like to the building
Speaker 2: and you throw them over the glass, throw them at
Speaker 2: the opposing goalie if you like, and all those bears
Speaker 2: go to a great cause. They benefit our Cincinnati Police,
Speaker 2: Cincinnati FD and it's all amazing. Matthew twenty five minute stries.
Speaker 2: Also in the mix.
Speaker 1: Have you been hitting ahead by a stuffed animal while broadcasting?
Speaker 2: No? But I'm not sure if you remember this, But
Speaker 2: last year I said that broadcast is before me. What
Speaker 2: warned me that if they if people don't like you,
Speaker 2: they'll turn around few bears at you. So I'm must
Speaker 2: be doing a pretty good job because nobody throw a
Speaker 2: bear at me last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Okay, so backtrack a little bit here,
Speaker 1: refresh my memory. Does this take place when a goal
Speaker 1: is scored or when the game is over? What's the
Speaker 1: moment that triggers it.
Speaker 2: All the Cyclone's first goal, so it could happen at
Speaker 2: any point. Last year we got down to the wire,
Speaker 2: it's like five minutes to go in the game, but
Speaker 2: it could happen as soon as the Cyclone score.
Speaker 1: And the fact that it's a matt and a I
Speaker 1: love because you can go late afternoon and still have
Speaker 1: the rest of your Saturday night to enjoy as well.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it's a day full of hockey because earlier
Speaker 2: in the morning we have our frozen five K ten K,
Speaker 2: so I'll have all the hot chocolate, all the marathon,
Speaker 2: all the runners want to come down, and so it
Speaker 2: could be a whole day at the bank. So you
Speaker 2: can run for a couple of minutes and then you
Speaker 2: can go go enjoy a meal and then come on
Speaker 2: back to the rinks.
Speaker 1: Speaking of meals, I must ask were did you happen
Speaker 1: to be part of the meal the team meal at
Speaker 1: Jeff Ruby's where the chef prepared a goalie mask cake.

Speaker 2: are coming in town for the first time next month,

Speaker 2: to and I'm going to make sure we get the
Speaker 2: goalie helmet.
