Who gets a Stanley Cup Ring?

[Akrapovince]

I’m pretty sure it works from a team to team basis, as they technically can give rings to anyone they want. But how far do the rings reach?

- Amateur & Pro Scouts?
- Equipment Managers?
- Investors if there are any?

Most likely it’s a case by case basis for every team, but normally how far and wide down a chain of command do teams usually give rings to?

Whoever the team wants. Generally, if you're a team employee youre getting a ring. Alumni genrrally get rings, especially those still close to the team. Broadcasters get one, even if not employed by the team. I would guess major sponsors are probably getting one.

After that, then it gets more selective and open to debate.

Would be interesting to see teams release a list of rings and people they were given to.

Happy to hear that a large amount of people from the organization gets awarded, considering it takes a lot of people to facilitate and commit to a cup winning team.

Yeah, it all depends on how the team wants to do it. I know for the Kings the players and coaching staff got custom rings while the broader circle of employees got rings, but not custom ones iirc.

I'm sure the employees who work in the team headquarters get rings.

I know a buddy of mine who worked PNC (then RBC Center) security at Canes games in 2005-2006 got a ring.

How about one for this guy

 

[Crosbyfan]

What in Hull is he doing?

 

[Summer Rose]

They should give a ring to Laila Anderson.

 

[Chubbinz]

They should give a ring to Laila Anderson.

Given the story surrounding her these playoffs it would shock me if the team didn't get her one.

I'd actually be more interested in the different levels of rings. for instance, I'm quite sure that low level office staff doesn't get the same bling of ring that a player gets. I have a friend who is a PA announcer for the local women's minor league soccer team. when they won their league championship a few years ago she was given a championship ring.
in the end though, it's 100% up to the team. the last few years teams have started giving out jewelry pieces to player spouses.

Mike Yeo will get at least five rings.
