Panthers Receive Stanley Cup Rings Featuring Diamond-Studded Rats, Celebrate Back-to-Back Championships
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – The Florida Panthers were presented with their championship rings in a private ceremony at War Memorial auditorium on Sunday, commemorating their consecutive Stanley Cup victories in 2024 and 2025. The rings, crafted in white and yellow gold, prominently feature an engraved rat - a playful nod to the teamS devoted fanbase and their tradition of showering the ice with plastic rats after each home win.
The unique design reflects the Panthers’ recent success and the enthusiastic support of their fans. The team secured back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, defeating opponents in the 2024 and 2025 finals. The rings themselves boast over 450 diamonds and genuine rubies, totaling 16.15 carats of gemstones, alongside diamond-encrusted palm trees representing the team’s Florida home.
Each ring includes two miniature Stanley Cup trophies, one for each championship year, and displays the player’s number, the year, and the inscription “BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS.” The interior of the ring is engraved with the team’s motto: “We Apologize To no One.”
The Panthers will raise their 2025 Stanley Cup championship banner on Tuesday, Oct. 7, during their home opener against the Chicago Blackhawks at Amerant Bank Arena, possibly prompting another flurry of celebratory rats onto the ice.
