1994 United States Olympic Hockey NOC Pin

This hockey pin is one of a multiple pin winter sport discipline set created for the United States Olympic team for the 1994 Winter Games held in Lillehammer, Norway. To me, this set of pins is one of the most unimaginative sets ever created for the USOC. Frankly, the pin is quite boring and because it is so easy to obtain its value is only about $5.00 USD, which is pretty low for any NOC pin.
