1976 Soviet Union Hockey Player Buttons

In 1976, for the Winter Games held in Innsbruck, Austria, the Soviet Union was the first country to produce buttons for each individual player on its Olympic Hockey team. Three of these buttons are featured here. Each of these individual player buttons from 1976 are worth around $4.00 USD. In 2002, Team Canada revived the individual hockey player pins and has produced complete sets in honor of the players on its 2002, 2006 and 2010 Olympic hockey teams.
