Pats snap 6 game losing streak, gain first win of season against Broncos

Regina Pats Teddy Bear Toss WATCH: Regina Pats play by play announcer Dante De Caria shares details for the Pat’s upcoming teddy bear toss game this Saturday.

The Regina Pats gained their first win of the season against the Swift Current Broncos on Saturday, officially snapping a six game losing streak, and reporting a successful teddy bear toss on top of it.

It was a tough fight to the finish at the Brandt Centre Saturday night as the Regina Pats eventually came out on top after overtime and a shootout.

The Broncos were the first to the scoreboard nearly seven minutes into the first period.

What ensued was a back and forth battle of attrition until both teams locked up 5-5 late in the third period.

Overtime saw no scoring — leading to a three round shootout with the Pats’ Tanner Howe knocking in the game winning goal.

The Pats improved their record 11-15-1-1.

Fans also had the opportunity to support children in need at the Pats Teddy Bear Toss game on Saturday.

A total of 2,433 stuffed animals were collected, according to the team.

The animals will be donated to the Salvation Army, St. John Ambulance and the Regina General Hospital’s pediatric unit.
