Ring celebration scheduled

Brahmas to receive 2009 CHL Championship rings in special ceremony

The Texas Brahmas have scheduled a special ceremony in which the players from the 2008-09 team will receive their CHL Championship rings. The ceremony is tentatively scheduled to take place during the first intermission of the November 8th home game against the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.

Several players have expressed anxiety about receiving their rings and I know November seems a long way off from a May championship but that's been the norm. Last year, the Arizona Sundogs received their 2008 championship rings on November 17th, six months after their four-game sweep of the Colorado Eagles.

The design of the Brahmas ring has not been revealed yet, but to give an example of what one of the coveted rings looks like, here is a description of the 2008 championship ring. The Sundogs' ring is made of white gold and features the Sundogs’ primary ‘S’ logo with a diamond representing each starburst. Fourteen larger diamonds to the left and right surround the ‘S’ logo at the top of the ring. One side of the ring depicts the player’s or staff member’s name, the CHL logo and a broom paired with the Sundogs’ 4-0 CHL Finals series record. The other side displays the Arizona Sundogs word mark logo, an image of the Ray Miron President’s Cup, the team motto, ‘Character is Everything’ and the Sundogs 12-5 playoff record.

The presentation of the championship ring will be the final chapter of the 2008-09 season. Remember, the raising of the Division, Conference and League Championship Banners will take place during the October 24th home opener against the Mississippi RiverKings.
