Although this is not really a hockey pin, I am featuring it today because it reminds me of one of the most incredible Olympic hockey experiences of my life--the 2002 Winter Games. Currently, Salt Lake City, Utah is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its hosting of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. There have been numerous Olympic themed events including a ceremony to re-light the Olympic flame, athlete presentations and, of course, pin trading events. At the re-lighting ceremony there was even an announcement of the formation of an exploratory committee that will gauge interest in making a Salt Lake City bid for the 2022 Winter Games . . . that would be AWESOME!!! Last night, members of the Salt Lake Olympic Pin Club got together for dinner to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 2002 Games and to share stories of pin trading both from 2002 and from Olympic Games since then. It was a great night, and this anniversary experience has been a good reminder of the Olympic spirit that consumed our city in 2002.
