They like it, so they put a ring on it.
Following more than 40 years of service spanning two leagues - and still nowhere near retiring - Youppi! has been officially inducted to the Mascot Hall of Fame.

The Expos-turned-Canadiens mascot received his personalized Hall of Fame ring via a virtual ceremony with the rest of the Class of 2020 on Sunday.
And it's glorious.
