Taping the Blade

[scorer75 9]

Yes, because I like the way it looks :)

Also helps on toe drags, but I really like the way it looks.

I;ve never really paid much attention to players sticks when watching NHL games, but now that i play ice, I find myself doing this a lot more.... I ahve noticed that some players seem to tape their sticks in a way that completely covers the toe.... I assume this is for more control...toe drags etc....

Does anyone here do this?

I do it to try to prevent the toe from chipping

I tape the toe as well. Not really sure why, just something I've always done.

I do it too, but for me it is purely aesthetic.

I also tape over the toe. My main reason is to prevent chips and what not to the blade and i also feel more control with the whole blade taped

Same here. Did it on my first stick to protect the blade and have been doing it ever since.

I tape the toe. I like how it looks, and I also like the protection it gives.

I have done it since I was little. I have tried different tape jobs. for some reason I feel I have more confidence with it taped over the toe... It might see a little odd but that is my feeling on it. oh and it looks like you know what you are doing lol it is all PP
