Some New York Rangers fans were rewarded for their generosity Tuesday.
The Rangers hosted their 26th annual Toy Drive, and fans who donated unwrapped toys got to meet and get autographs from Pavel Buchnevich, Artemi Panarin and Brendan Lemieux.
All toys went to the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, and donors could also participate in free bowling at the Bowlmor Lanes in New York.
The players were excited to participate in the cause, particularly at this time of the year.
"Participating in events like this during the holiday season is so important," Lemieux said. "It's an honor to be here and help in any way we can."
