When Martin Gerber got his Stanley Cup ring last week (not playing for the Ottawa Senators), I found out some particulars about the Hurricanes' ring that I thought was really neat.

The ring itself is probably worth about $25,000US or so. The band is made out of 14K white gold. The logo is made from black sapphires and red rubies. The rest of the ring is adorned with about 100+ diamonds. Nice bling bling!

Carolina is holding a contest this season where they are raffling off a ring that has the inscription "#1 Fan" instead of a player name & number. All proceeds are going to the charity Carolina Hurricanes Kids ‘N Community Foundation with the winner drawn at the last home game of the season.

No, I'm not going to Carolina anytime soon or trying to win this ring. But just having a chance for a fan to sorta kinda feel like a part of the winning team without having to put on skates? I can only dream Ottawa might have something like this for its fans one day, sigh, but right now just making the playoffs is an issue this season.
