This is the NOC hockey pin produced by the Soviet Union for the 1964 Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria. After a United States gold medal in the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympic hockey tournament, the Soviet team resumed its on-ice domination by winning the gold medal in 1964, which would be followed by Soviet hockey gold medals in 1968 (Grenoble, France), 1972 (Sapporo, Japan), and 1976 (Innsbruck, Austria). This 1964 NOC pin was the beginning of hockey-specific pins produced by the Soviets (and subsequently by Russia) dating to the most recent 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada.
