The Washington Capitals presented Jay Beagle with his Stanley Cup ring Monday ahead of their game against the Vancouver Canucks that night.
And one player in particular, other than Jay himself, got the feels: Nicklas Backstrom.
Over the next 11 days, the Washington Capitals will play four of the NHL’s Canadian teams. Ahead of their 10 pm Monday matchup against the Vancouver Canucks, the Capitals gave their beloved, former fourth-line center, Jay Beagle, his championship ring.
“It’s like I’m wearing my truck,” Beagle joked while meeting with the media, according to the Washington Post’s Samantha Pell.

Last week, the Capitals announced that Jostens, the jewelry company that made their championship rings, were selling 145 replicas for $12,018 each.
For those of you who’d rather use that money for a downpayment on a house or a new car, you’re in luck. Monday, soon after the Capitals gave away their championship rings to players, Jostens announced their Washington Capitals Fan Collection, which features affordable championship jewelry inspired by the Capitals rings.
But I have a surprising take. You’re going to leave this article wanting to buy a paperweight for the first time in your life.

Last year, the Saint John Sea Dogs were unstoppable. Led by Jonathan Huberdeau, Zack Phillips, Tomas Jurco, and Nathan Beaulieu — top prospects all of whom were selected in the top 35 of the 2011 NHL Draft — the Sea Dogs ripped off an insane 77-11 record capturing both the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Presidents Cup and the Canadian Hockey League’s Memorial Cup. Saint John — who joined the QMJHL as an expansion team just six years ago — became the first organization from Canada’s Maritimes region to win the most coveted prize in Junior Hockey.

On October 29th, the club celebrated their two titles by hosting a “Night of Champions” at Harbour Station. In front of an announced crowd of 5,888, the Sea Dogs raised their championship banners and handed out 67 rings to players and management.
Each ring, which Team president Wayne Long estimated cost the club around a thousand dollars apiece, is personalized with the player’s name and number and feature their 77-11 record on one side and their “Leave No Doubt” slogan on the other. 23 blue stones are encrusted on the top and four clear diamonds are planted on the side.
Caps prospect Stanislav Galiev — who scored 48 goals in 88 games and averaged well over a point per game during Saint John’s Championship run — was impressed with his new bling.
