TORONTO — Two Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup rings are among the $1 million haul from a Toronto mansion belonging to the Bronfman family.
One ring commemorates the team's 1973-74 Stanley Cup victory, the other is from the 1975-76 championship. Those are the years when Peter and Edward Bronfman owned the storied NHL team.
Thieves made off with 60 items including precious diamonds and expensive pearls and a safe. But police say it's the hockey rings that the Bronfmans really want back.
NHL spokesman Gary Meagher says the rings are an important keepsake for Stanley Cup winners.
Police are putting pawnshops and jewelry stores on alert to be on the lookout for the missing loot.
Both of the Stanley Cup rings bear the Bronfman name on the side.
