Forty years of making pins
Hockey Dream Pins is a division of McGillvray Ltd. We’ve been making pins, award medals and key rings for over 40 years, from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Most of that work has been for people you’ve heard of. Some of it’s on a lanyard around a ten-year-old’s neck in a rink in North Dakota. We don’t treat those differently.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Bob on pins for multiple sports teams. He is incredibly easy to work with. First off, he is extremely knowledgeable about pin trading tournaments and how they work. Bob also always has a handle on the timeline required for designing and ordering pins. Most importantly, Bob is so talented at helping with the design and construction of pins; the kids LOVED being able to participate in the process, and once I sent those designs to Bob, he was able to take their ideas and bring them to life. Finally, Bob offered practical advice about sizing and pricing, which again speaks to how much experience he has in doing this.”
