Panthers rings to Hall of Fame

There was a lot of ringing at the Hockey Hall of Fame on Wednesday, but it didn’t come from the phone lines.

While in Toronto during the team’s road trip, the Florida Panthers stopped by the Hall of Fame to donate one of their 2024 Stanley Cup rings to the museum.

Forwards Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Reinhart and Aleksander Barkov, as well as head coach Paul Maurice and general manager Bill Zito were in attendance at the Hall of Fame to drop off the ring.

The fancy jewelry will be displayed in the Panthers’ Stanley Cup Champions Exhibit, before eventually ending up in Lord Stanley’s Vault, a special exhibit in the Hall of Fame’s Great Hall.

There are currently over 20 rings displayed in the vault, from the first-ever Stanley Cup Ring (1893, Billy Barlow, Montreal AAA's) to the Vegas Golden Knights' 2023 championship ring.

The Panthers are in Toronto for a matchup with the Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday.

Not a bad pit stop on the road trip.
