In the past couple of weeks this "Team USA 06" pin has appeared on eBay. Though I do not specifically recall this pin making an internet appearance during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy, it is a nicely designed pin. The goaltender and U.S. flag pictured on the front of the pin are painted with fine enamel (not a cloisonne), the back of the pin has a clutch and post fastener but no text or symbols. The pin measures 21mm wide by 26mm tall. Whether the pin is a genuine USA Hockey pin is unknown, but it is an attractive pin.
