1980 Olympic 5-Rings Mascot Hockey Pin
This pin is similar to the 3-ring version that I blogged about on October 18, 2011. It comes from the Lake Placid Winter Games held in 1980. Within the green Olympic ring the official 1980 Games mascot, Roni, is again found playing hockey. Like the 3-ring version, the value on this pin is also $8.00 USD, but I have seen this pin sell for as much as $61.00 USD.

1994 Coca-Cola German Hockey Team Pin
This pin from the 1994 Winter Games held in Lillehammer, France, was a difficult one to find. I am not aware of any other hockey teams from the 1994 Winter Games having a similar Coca-Cola pin, which makes this unique to the German hockey team. The pin's value is $15.00 USD because it is so difficult to find (though I have seen it sell for up to $23.00 USD).

1992 USA Hockey Olympic Team Pin
For the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France the United States National Olympic Committee had produced a series of NOC pins for each of the various sport disciplines participating in the Games on behalf of the United States. This pin is the "Ice Hockey" version of that series. It is difficult to put a value on this pin because the asking price for pins from this series varies tremendously. For instance, today on eBay the generic version of this pin is listed for $5.95 USD and the Biathlon team version of the pin is listed for $67.94 USD. I would assume that the Biathlon pin is tremendously over-priced and will not sell, but I have seen the Ice Hockey pin sell for up to $25.00 USD. That said, I would think this pin could be obtained for around $15.00 USD.

1998 Coca-Cola Hockey Pin
This is another of the many Coca-Cola hockey pins from the 1998 Winter Games held in Nagano, Japan. In total, I am aware of 49 different hockey pins produced for Coca-Cola for the 1998 Games. Though it is a pretty basic pin, it often gets numerous bids on eBay and thus I'd value this pin at $12.00 USD.

1994 Norwegian Olympic Hockey Team Pin
This NOC pin comes from the 1994 Winter Games held in Lillehammer, Norway, and is the team pin of the Norwegian Hockey team that came in eleventh out of twelve teams playing on its home ice. It is quite a bit smaller than the 1992 USA Hockey pin (also pictured above) that it was clearly patterned after. This pin has a value of $20.00 USD, though I have seen it sell for up to $25.00 USD.

1968 Soviet Hockey Souvenir Pin
This Soviet hockey pin is from the 1968 Winter Games held in Innsbruck, Austria. I have not been able to get a decent translation on the Russian text, ОпимпиискиЕ иГРЫ РпДиСТ, which appers on the face of the pin. I value this pin at $5.00 USD. If there are any Russian speakers reading, I'd appreciate your translation of the Russian text.

1972 Sapporo Hockey Pin
This plastic pin was made in the Soviet Union for the 1972 Winter Games held in Sapporo, Japan. The Russian word "саппоро" on the pin translates to "Sapporo". I have only come across this pin a couple of times in my years of pin collecting, so I believe that it is pretty difficult to come by. I'd value this pin at $7.00 USD.
