2002 Purple Hockey Jersey Player Pins

These three pins were produced for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. The original of the three pins was the generic pin pictured on the right side. Thereafter, several schools throughout Utah had various styles of pins made to celebrate the Olympic games, capitalize on the growing Utah pin collecting craze and raise money for the schools. Two such schools were Columbia Elementary School and Crescent View Middle School, each of which chose this hockey design from the official pin manufacturer, Aminco®. The value of each of these pins, individually, is $7.00 USD.
