This pin features one of the 2010 Olympic mascots, Quatchi, adorned in goaltender gear with the Canada Hockey Place venue in the background. (Note: Because corporate sponsorship of venues is not permitted during the Olympics, Vancouver's GM Place arena was renamed "Canada Hockey Place" during the games.) The pin measures 31mm tall by 32mm wide. It is a cloisonne with a clutch and post fastener. The text on the back side of the pin states: TM/MC (c) 2008, VANOC/COVAN, Artiss Aminco-4, China/Chine. The pin is not truly a venue pin because it was not offered for sale solely at the hockey venue, but rather was readily available at numerous retail outlets during the 2010 Winter Games.
