GRAND RAPIDS - Like acquiring a prized painting, the Grand Rapids Griffins knew exactly the right place for their latest piece of work: right next to the other one.
The Griffins raised the banner on their 2016-17 Calder Cup championship amid wild cheers from a sold out crowd at Van Andel Arena before Friday's season opener against Manitoba. It slid in nicely in a new place in the rafters next to the franchise's first title from 2012-13.
Take a look above at how it went.
It was the Griffins' first time on the ice since they won the title in front of a home crowd on June 13.
