\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 February 9, 2016 — Teddy bears and stuffed animals will replace the usual admission fees for the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾\u2019s men\u2019s hockey game Friday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n


\nAs a way to get a head start on Valentine\u2019s Day, Rhody fans are encouraged to bring a new teddy bear or stuffed animal to one of the last home games of the season to benefit the children at Friends Way. If they donate a stuffed toy at the entrance of the Boss Ice Arena on the Kingston Campus, they won\u2019t have to pay the $2 student or $5 admission fees. <\/p>\n


\nFriends Way, an agency based in Warwick, is a grief and support center for children, teens and families who are dealing with the loss of a family member or loved one. The center accepts donations of all kinds; to make a contribution, visit the center at 765 West Shore Road, Warwick R.I.<\/p>\n


\nSeason ticket holders are also encouraged to donate. Once the toys are collected, members of the hockey team will bring them to the children receiving grief counseling at Friends Way.<\/p>\n


\nSenior team member Matthew DaSilva is eager to bring the donations to the center. \u201cWe\u2019re excited about the opportunity to get more involved in the community and to help brighten a child\u2019s day,\u201d he said. \u201cSomething as simple as a little stuffed animal can really change how they\u2019re feeling, especially around Valentine\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n
