Steven Stamkos presented with Olympic ring by Hockey Canada

Steven Stamkos brought a special souvenir home from the Tampa Bay Lightning's recent road trip through Alberta.

After the team practiced at a Hockey Canada training facility in Calgary on Thursday, Stamkos was surprised with a ring presented to members of Canada's gold-medal-winning team at Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The Lightning forward was originally selected for the team but was unable to make the trip after breaking his leg last November.

"That was pretty classy. I didn't expect that, especially after everything that went on," Stamkos told Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times. "They said I was named to the team and worked hard, tried to get there. I didn't get to play, but it's still something I'll keep pretty near and dear to my heart."

It's a far cry from an actual gold medal, but a nice move by Scott Salmond, Hockey Canada's vice president of hockey operations.
