The 2000 Grey Cup Champions Ring
Made by Intergold, the Calgary-based company which has produced championship rings for the NBA, NCAA, WNBA and
CFL. The rings weigh about 40 grams each (a typical gold wedding band is 7-8
grams).
Lion players Jamie Taras, Damon Allen and retiring Lui
Passaglia participated in the design process. Each ring will have 43
separate diamonds, weighing about 1.20 carats in total. Intergold
president Miran Amutlu believes they will be unique in another respect.
The diamonds were produced at the new Ekati mine in the Northwest
Territories, which would make the Lions the first team to wear
all-Canadian championship rings.
