I have spent several hours researching the background of this undated Italian NOC hockey pin in order to determine its origin. My research ultimately led me to an Italian Olympic Committee member who informed me that the pin was most likely used by the Italian Olympic Hockey Team during the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. The Italians used a very similar pin ten years later, which is clearly marked "Lillehammer '94" on the pin (below).
