Even the teddy bears were impressed.

Guelph Storm defender Ryan Merkley celebrated the club's annual Teddy Bear Toss game with one hell of a goal, showing remarkable patience, skating ability, and hands.

Only 16, Merkley went into Sunday with four goals and 14 assists in 24 games. He was the first overall pick in the OHL draft in April, and he'll be a household name in NHL circles soon enough.
