According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Buffalo (New York), a shipment of ten counterfeit Stanley Cup rings were seized due to trademark violations.

The ten rings were knockoffs of the 1936 Detroit Red Wings that they received for winning the Stanley Cup. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection says that the total value of the ten rings is roughly $15,000 USD.

"Earlier this month, a shipment that was selected, was seized after a thorough examination determined the contents to be counterfeit Detroit Red Wings, NHL Stanley Cup Championship rings from 1936. A total of 10 rings were seized by CBP as they violated Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of the Detroit Red Wings trademark. Furthermore, CBP officers determined that the rings had a total Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) value of approximately $15,000." The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.
