The Carolina Hurricanes unveiled their Stanley Cup championship rings this week, and it took fans about five minutes to find the part the club probably enjoyed designing most.
Built by Jason of Beverly Hills, the rings carry 900 individually set stones, 9.80 carats of white diamonds and 1.40 carats of natural red rubies. Each player’s signature is engraved on the bottom. A removable championship puck pendant sits inside, personalized with the player’s number, and lifting it out reveals Stormy, the team mascot, rendered in rubies and diamonds. The words “Stress Game” are engraved on the side, a nod to Carolina’s relentless style, along with a rope design referencing the one handed to the team’s player of the game throughout the season.
What is engraved on the Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup rings?
The detail that set social media off is on the inside shank, where the rings record Carolina’s 16-3 postseason run with the result of every series. The four lines read CAR 4 – OTT 0, CAR 4 – PHI 0, CAR 4 – MTL 1 and CAR 4 – VGK 2, with the overall record engraved above them.
Sitting to the right of the first two lines, and only the first two, is a small engraved broom.
“Did they really need to add the broom beside Ottawa and Philly,” one fan wrote.
“Getting the broom engraved next to Ottawa and Philadelphia is brutal,” another added, while a third summed it up in five words: “The broom on the inside got me.”
At least one Flyers supporter found the silver lining: “Oh nice, the Flyers got engraved on Cup rings.”

In fairness to Carolina, the brooms are earned. The Hurricanes swept Ottawa in the first round and Philadelphia in the second, becoming the first team to go undefeated through the opening two rounds since the NHL adopted the four-round, best-of-seven format in 1987. The only other club to sweep two seven-game series to start a playoff run was St. Louis in 1969, back when the tournament ran three rounds.
Carolina begins its title defense on Tuesday at Lenovo Center against the Florida Panthers, the first game of ESPN’s season-opening tripleheader.
