Toe of blades keeps chipping

[ken 0]

I have a CCM OPS v120 and a Bauer Tru Flex sticks. Both of them are really chipping bad at the toe of the blade. Is this normal? Should I be trying a different stick pattern? This seems to happen to all my sticks fairly quickly. I'm going to try taping the entire blade and just trim the extra tape off the toe like I've seen suggested on here. I was just wondering if I should try a new pattern. Now I just need to decide on what stick to get!

Do you dig along the boards a lot?

Are you one of the players who gets mad and bangs their toe on the ice?

Hey I've seen people like that before

Digging in the boards and hitting the toe on the ice are the only logical explanations for it.So you must be doing one of those.

Blocking shots, stick checks or poke cheks could easily account for it as well.

faceoffs could chip blades very easy too.

Mice hopped up on crack? Or steroids?

Thanks. This is probably what it is since I'm a center. I never bang it against the boards or ice on purpose, but once in a while it gets scraped along the boards trying to dig out the puck, but its most likely the face offs. Guess I'll just tape the entire toe of the blade and see how that goes.
