January 6, 2025 — Baron® Championship Rings is honored to have been chosen to create and manufacture the 2024 Binghamton Black Bears Commissioner’s Cup Championship Rings. This marks the first Commissioner’s Cup Championship in the franchise’s history!

The Binghamton Black Bears achieved a historic sweep of the Carolina Thunderbirds, clinching the 2024 Commissioner’s Cup with a 3-0 series final and demonstrating their dominance throughout the postseason.

The Commissioner’s Cup is the trophy awarded each year to the playoff Champion of the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL). The FPHL first presented it in the 2010-2011 season.

This was Carolina’s third playoff appearance since winning the 2019 Commissioner’s Cup. In 2023, they faced the Danbury Hat Tricks, the reigning Commissioner’s Cup Champions. Additionally, this marked the Black Bears’ first appearance in the playoffs.

The Black Bears had a chance to celebrate their Championship with their fans outside of the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena. WBNG reported one of the Black Bears fan reflected on seeing the cup in person, “A lot of people supporting the team, and seeing the cup on the table and its just, I touched it Friday night, and it’s just amazing. I still can’t believe it.”
