Winners of the 96th Grey Cup in 2008, the Calgary Stampeders defeated the Montreal Alouettes 22-14 in front of one of the largest crowd in Grey Cup history, with 66 308 spectators taking in the action. This stunning Calgary Stampeders Grey Cup championship ring was presented to LeMarcus Rowell, who didn't play in the Grey Cup game, with the ring presented by the team to Rowell as a member of the 2008 championship squad. In his 2008 rookie season, Rowell dressed in six regular-season games for the Red and White in which he recorded two tackles and seven special-teams tackles. In the final game of the regular season against BC on Nov. 1, Rowell grabbed his first interception and returned it 37 yards. It was the third-longest interception return by a Stamps player for the season.
Large and substantial size 13 1/2 ring has an approximate weight of 55 grams. With the familiar stampeding horse on the face, an image of the Grey Cup has been placed above and it’s been packed with diamonds. More diamonds of varying sizes surround the central image, and their flanked with 14 straight baguette cut rubies. With 19 diamonds at the top, one shank has “Rowell” above with a football below that contains the CFL logo as well as 6 diamonds. Surrounded by “Calgary Stampeders”, it has Rowell position and number below with “LB-71”. The opposite shank has 19 diamonds at the top with “Grey Cup Champions” and “2008” above with an image of the host venue Olympic Stadium beneath finished by the game’s score “22-14”. The inner band has a stamped “Intergold 10K” and a lengthy inscription which states in full “Men we got them right where we want 'em". The ring exhibits fine scuffing/fine scratches throughout and has a small dent on one of the shanks and overall displays very nicely. A worthy addition for any advanced championship ring or Grey Cup collection.
