History

The original HoKa J-17 award patch was never issued as an award. The manufacturer apparently released the over-runs to someone in Arizona who in-turn began selling them on eBay. Lodge collectors not having one quickly began paying high prices to get one of these in their collection, later learning that not even the first J-17 had been issued. The Lodge was angered by the over-run sells and wanted to put a stop to the Arizona seller. Pleas to the seller to stop the sales fell on deaf ears and with no regular Lodge event with in several months to sell the HoKa’s to Lodge members in the Trading Post and stop the eBay sellers profitability, the Lodge consigned the Lodge’s supply of
HoKa’s to Brush Creek Trading to compete with the Arizona seller. This put the money back into the Lodge’s hands and also stopped the unauthorized seller from obtaining their high profits. J-22 replaced the Hoka that was issued as the drummer/singer award patch until the award was retired in 2023 due to changes in the drumming/singing program.
