Thx for the kind words. Yes I truly hit gold on this one. I was actually searching for a vintage type Sioux jersey and when the story or the ring came about it just fascinated me. Had to have it. In fact the story took a couple twists and turns many historians of the program were unaware of. Moreover, the evolution of NCAA rings, in various sports; such as football, hockey and baseball is very interesting. Rings around this time period of the 50s-60s is unknown and the generation of men who earned them in their respective sport is becoming lost to time. The ring I have may very well be the first ever NCAA hockey national championship ring. Either way, fun to research and carry forward the history.
