Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang dropped by the Hockey Hall of Fame on Wednesday to present a Pittsburgh Penguins 2017 diamond-studded Stanley Cup ring to the shrine for its growing, but incomplete, collection. But to have that (ring here) and be a part of history, for people to be able to see it up close . It’s nice we can share this with people.”Unlike baseball’s museum in Cooperstown, N.Y, which has a ring from every World Series champion, the Hockey Hall of Fame has only a few. Brian Burke started the tradition of donating a ring to the Hall when he was general manager of the 2007 champion Anaheim Ducks, and other teams have followed. The Hall also has rings from Bill Hay (Chicago, 1961), Doc Seaman (Calgary, 1989) and Bob Johnson (Pittsburgh, 1991).
