"Hey Bro, You Got Some Tape?" - The Hockey Players Thread

[bsi]

depends how much you play/what level
beer league you should get some good use, anything serious, probably about 2-3 weeks, stealths are **** for durability

ive used bauer sticks pretty much since ive used composites, about 7 years, always supreme line, so right now totalones, p92 102 flex, tactile grip, same with skates always used (nike)/bauer, and of course totalones

Ya, I'm still playing senior hockey so it's not likely to last long in there. Faceoffs are tough on light sticks, hopefully she holds, I like it otherwise though. I've used Bauer sticks before but found they got rubbery after a week or so. As for skate i agree with you, I've used Bauers for most of my life, I've used Grafs before and those were tanks but they weren't light like Bauer.

What day does your beer league play? Mine plays Sundays.

I've been rocking the Zetterberg curve for years now, not sure what the Coffey one looks like(although I've probably picked one up before in the store) but I like a fairly straight curve since my tendency is to shoot high anyways.

Coffey curves tend high, so you wouldn't want them.

X60 stick and Vapour 3.0 skates. Love Bauer. Used to be all about CCM but that's gradually changed. Lol "Got some tape?".. It always seems to be the same 3 guys on my beer league team that are "those guys". I only tape my stick about 3-4 inches wide in the place where I release my wrist/snap shot. You won't find any tape close to my heel. Just been like that since I was a kid.

I tape pretty much the entire thing from heel to toe. I do this mostly because I tend to hit the heel when I rap the blade against the ice. Waterloggin wood is no good.

Also yeah, it's always the same three guys, and they're all too cheap to run up to the shop 100 feet away and drop like 4$ for their own tape.

Also, they make it difficult to do anything with your backhand.

Part of the problem here. I'm a speedster and I rely on my hands in tight in which I obviously rely on the backhand a lot. Dirty curves are no good for me. When I go into the store, wherever it may be, and I look at a stick I may like the feel but if the curve isn't one I like I won't buy it. I don't wanna sit there and perfect a curve. Gimme the Zetterberg curve all day. Never understood why guys love the crazy toe or heel curves. Hate them.

I've been rocking the Sakic curve for years. Solid.

My hockey team is undefeated. Sadly, we have a tournament coming up against all Canadian teams so our run may end there.

Clear is IMPLIED. Duh.

What skates do you guys use?
I have the Bauer X7.0's and they are pretty nice.
