David Warsofsky enjoyed the ride but didn’t get a ring.

Warsofsky, the Avalanche prospect who played in the Pittsburgh Penguins‘ organization last season, was at every practice, every team meeting, and every other mandatory event in the Pens’ run to winning the Stanley Cup in June. The 5-foot-8 defenseman played just nine regular-season games but was among Pittsburgh’s playoff “black aces” — the best of what the team had from its minor-league affiliate in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Because he didn’t play the minimum 41 regular-season games or one game in the Stanley Cup Final, Warsofky’s name was not engraved on the Cup and he did not order a ring.
