Hello,Just have a little interesting story I'd like to share with ya's.On Saturday night I went to our local hockey tournament and to my surprise a fella we all know was there,Mr.Lanny Macdonald! he was in town playin in the Curling tourney that was also happenin. I tell ya he is like the nicest fella you'd ever wanna meet! Just a down to earth dude. he signed autographs, told us of some little known hockey stories from back in the day.He had pictures to autograph of him scoring his 500th goal and also 1 of him in his Toronto dayz.I got one for meself of him in Toronto and one for my boy of his 500th goal in Cowtown.but the icing on the cake is when i got my picture beside him with his STANLEY CUP RING ON!!He let me,little old me from podunk saskatchy thats no one to him really, let me where his Stanley Cup Ring!!Now what are the odds of that happenin on any given Saturday!what a million to 1? Possibly even higher! I can't tell ya how amazing that was!! when i first actally held it in my hands i got some major fucking chills down my spine,its one beautiful ring for sure and heavy!It was kinda funny though when i was first getting set to get my pic taken I put my hand right in front of my face and Geoff was like I can't even see your face put your hand down or over some.everyone kinda laughed at that.But thats gonna go down as one for the old memory bookz.hopefuly the pic turns out well!! not with my eyes closed or overexposed or some shit like that!.........summit
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

I got to wear Wayne Gretzky's Stanley Cup ring when I was 12. It was HUGE! Solid gold and the Oiler's logo all done in diamonds.

i think thats cause while he's alive the odds of him selling it are very slim to none and i believe appraisal rules can't theorize the future market value of the ring because it's totally unknown. so its a conservative appraisal that assumes it wont be sold. Besides, don't most of the players who win the rings generally donate them to the Hockey Hall of Fame or some other institution upon their deaths? I have no clue, I'm just wondering.
