Ahead of their season opener on Tuesday night, the Vegas Golden Knights have unveiled their shiny 2023 Stanley Cup championship rings.
The Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers in five games to clinch the franchise its first Stanley Cup championship, in only their sixth year of existence. Vegas will begin its championship defense quest on Wednesday evening against the Pacific Division rival Seattle Kraken.
On X (formerly known as Twitter), the Golden Knights revealed the 2023 Stanley Cup championship rings, which were made by the Jason of Beverly Hills store in Beverly Hills, California.
These beautiful rings include 32 yellow diamond rings, the team’s popular “Vegas Born” motto, 67 white diamonds and a mini design of T-Mobile Arena that marked all nine goals Vegas scored in the cup-clinching game vs. Florida.
