Stanley Cup ring

The Stanley Cup ring is a championship ring, an annual award in the National Hockey League given to the team that wins the Stanley Cup Finals,[1] a best-of-seven series to determine the league's champion that season.

[2] In addition to the winning players, teams give rings to coaches, trainers, scouts, executives, and other staff members.

In the 1950s The Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup four times, but players were given silverware[6] or bought a dinner[7] instead of rings.

[1] In the 1960s the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup four times, but players were originally only given one ring with diamonds that were removed and enlarged for each subsequent win.

In 2011 Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs gave out a record 504 Stanley Cup rings to anyone connected with the team.[8].
