P.K. Subban got some new hardware over Christmas.
The New Jersey Devils defenseman got a huge engagement ring from finance, former Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, according to posts on her social media pages.
The couple, who have been together for two years, already announced their engagement in August, but Vonn wanted to make a statement about equality and non-traditional roles.
Vonn felt Subban should also have an engagement ring.
“Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!!” Vonn wrote on Twitter. “On our 2 year anniversary, in a ‘non traditional’ move, I asked PK to marry me and he said, Yes! Women aren’t the only ones who should get engagement rings!”

On her official Instagram page she added, “We talk about equality but actions speak louder than words. Men should get engagement rings too and this is what PK deserves. Can’t wait to marry you babe.”
Vonn retired this year from competitive skiing. Subban was traded to the Devils before the start of this season from the Nashville Predators. (He was on the team that advanced to the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins and lost in six games.) He started his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens.
