As much as the classic 1970s rock band Boston tried to describe it in their hit song in 1976, there are no words to describe the feelings people experience when they receive a Championship ring.

Your body is over-whelmed with personal joy and pride, and your heart skips every second beat. In my short life, I have won 2 Junior Hockey titles, and even though it doesn’t stack up anywhere close to a World Series title, it was a pretty amazing feeling.

The feeling of being a Champion, and a member of the best team at the level you played at, is one that nobody can take away from you. Your name is engraved on that trophy and will be remembered forever.

This afternoon, the Boston Red Sox played their Home Opener in front of 36,567 fans at Fenway Park against the Detroit Tigers. Before the game, the Red Sox were given their World Series rings for the Championship they earned in 2007.

Every time I witness one of these ceremonies, my heart sways like a swing, and nostalgic feelings rush through my body, as I remember how I felt when I received such a great prize. Being a Champion is the greatest feeling in the world.
