Championship Rings For Campers

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Much like their Stanley Cup champion brethren, a select group of fantasy camp skaters are honoring their own championship with a unique piece of jewelry from Intergold Design. Members of the Gretzky Cup championship team from this past February’s Wayne Gretzky Fantasy Camp VII have captured their cup clinching moment in a 10-karat championship style gold ring.

These rings – which are available in yellow or white gold – include the camper’s name, number and the 5-4 final game score. The ring’s top features the Wayne Gretzky logo surrounded by the choice of cubic zirconia’s or genuine diamonds. A red garnet understone peers through the logo, making this ring a true representation of accomplishment.

A similarly designed participant ring is also available to all Fantasy Camp VII participants as the high level of competition and sportsmanship displayed throughout the camp is worthy of its own honor.

View a photo of the Fantasy Camp Championship Ring here.

For additional information on these rings, feel free to contact the WG Authentic office at (480) 778-1899. Please check back early Fall ’09 for information on Fantasy Camp VIII.
