Olympic Hockey "Slider" Pins

Beginning in 2002, a new type of hockey pin was introduced to Olympic collectors--the Slider. So, what is a slider? A slider is a pin that has a channel cut into the "base pin" and then includes a "top piece" that slides along the channel. Thus, the following pins:
(1) This was the first Olympic hockey slider to appear in Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Games. It is a generic pin, and the yellow-jerseyed goaltender slides back and forth in front of the net.
.
(2) This is the first of two Coca-Cola hockey sliders from the 2002 Winter Games. This pin, with the blue Coca-Cola lettering and the purple mountains was the more difficult of the two pins Coca-Cola sliders to obtain during the 2002 Games.
.
(3) The second Coca-Cola hockey slider from the Salt Lake City games sported yellow lettering and blue mountains. Comparing the two pins, you can see the movement of the goaltender in front of the net.

(4) Visa also had a hockey slider pin for the 2002 Olympic games, yet the credit card company opted for a skater instead of a netminder.
.
(5) After a hockey slider sabatical during the 2006 Torino Games, the hockey sliders made a comeback in 2010. Cold-FX produced this good looking goaltender slider for Vancouver Olympic pin collectors to chase after.

(6) Coca-Cola produced this hockey slider for the 2010 Games. This pin is unique in that the skater slides in a top-to-bottom trajectory instead of a side-to-side path. This pin was available on-line a www.mycokerewards.com for a brief time before the 2010 Games began, but was then plentiful and easily found among pin traders during the Vancouver Games. It's lower quality construction made it less popular among avid collectors and novices alike.

(7), (8), (9) This trio of sliding goaltender pins, made in gold, silver and bronze tinted metals, was created by a collector and sold primarily over eBay (and is still available today). The designer used a witty five-puck layout bearing Canadian maple leafs to simulate the Olympic rings in order to get around International Olympic copyrights. Though these are not "official" Olympic pins, they are a nice addition to an Olympic hockey collection.

The final hockey slider pictured below was the cause of a lot of controversy among pin collectors during the 2010 Olympic Games, and continues to be the subject of heated debate over the internet. The limited edition pin was made in both gold (limited to 100 pins) and silver (limited to 300 pins) and was originally touted as an official Czech Republic NOC hockey pin. However, it has since been called out as a "fake" created by a Canadian pin collector without authorization of the Czech Olympic Committee.

I have no idea whether it is real or fake, but it is a very good looking pin nonetheless.
