Race for the Ring

The Greater Metro Jr. A Hockey League is proud to officially announce the ‘Race for the Ring.’ The ‘Race for the Ring’ is a GMHL owner sponsored campaign to award a championship ring to all members of the Russell Cup winning team.

In recent years, the individual owners of the Russell Cup championship team would purchase and distribute championship rings within their own locker room. During this summer’s GMHL Annual General Meeting, all owners voted and approved the proposal to have league distributed rings. All teams will contribute equally to the fund.

Winning a championship is no small feat, let alone at the Junior ‘A’ level. These rings will serve as a great memento for the players, coaches and trainers on the journey to their achievement.

The rings will be awarded at the GMHL Annual Golf Tournament held in May.
