Approximately 7 months and a week after their victorious clinching victory over the Phoenix Mercury at Wintrust Arena, the Sky will hold a ring ceremony and unveil and lift a championship banner to the heights of Wintrust prior to their game against the Indiana Fever on May 24th.

Sky general manager and head coach James Wade said in an official team release detailing the pre-game plans that the ceremony will represent "a bridge that connects 2021 to 2022."

"Momentum is about confidence - and now if there are ever times we lack confidence, the only thing we have to do is look up!," Wade continues.
