Frequently Asked Questions
How does the trading pin exchange work and how many pins will our team need?
In the spirit of international hockey, the PBIHT committee encourages the participation in the trading pin exchange. Pin exchanges will only take place prior to any game in which one or both teams choose to give pins. Since each team plays a total of five games, and rosters will have a maximum of 20 players, your team won’t need any more than 100 pins total.
