Here is a list of feature to consider when choosing the right hockey tape for your kids playing style
1.Adhesive Strength:
Look for a tape with a strong adhesive that can withstand the rigors of gameplay without peeling off easily. A good adhesive ensures that the tape stays in place during games.
2.Thickness:
Thicker tapes can offer more cushioning and protection for your stick, while thinner tapes provide more feel and control. Choose the thickness based on your preference for grip versus puck handling.
3.Texture:
Some tapes have a smoother finish for easier puck sliding, while others have a rougher texture for better grip. Determine what suits your playing style—defensive players may prefer a grippier tape, while forwards might opt for a smoother one.
4.Durability:
Look for tapes that are resistant to wear and tear. Higher quality tapes often last longer and hold up better against ice, sticks, and pucks.
5.Weather Resistance:
If you play outdoors or in varying temperatures, consider a tape that can handle moisture and temperature changes without losing its adhesive properties.
6.Color Options:
While not performance-related, choosing a color that matches your stick or team colors can be a fun way to personalize your gear.
7.Width:
Standard widths usually work for most players, but some might prefer wider tape for added coverage or narrower tape for a more customized feel.
