2014 NOC German Olympic Hockey Team

This is a unique NOC team pin from the 2014 Winter Games held in Sochi, Russia.  The pin states "Deutscher Eishockey Bund" which translates to German Ice Hockey Team, and includes a pictogram of a hockey player in the center of the pin.  What makes this team pin unique among the dozens of different NOC hockey team pins that I have seen over the years is that it also includes pictograms of several other sport disciplines (ski jumping, speed skating, biathalon, downhill skiing, bobsled and figure skating).  The pin has a value of $20.00 USD, but during the Sochi Games it often sold for nearly twice that amount.
