Tape Your Hockey Stick Blade Like Connor McDavid
We are going to review how you can tape your hockey stick blade using the same method as the most electrifying player in hockey, Connor McDavid.
Materials Needed
The first thing needed is the hockey stick. The hockey stick I used is the CCM Jetspeed with the P92 curve. It is similar to the one used by Connor McDavid, but the paddle is smaller than the one McDavid uses and it is not quite as square.
The only other thing we need is some 1 and a half inch white hockey cloth tape. For this, we went with the renfrow brand as I have found that it does not leave that annoying residue that some other cloth tapes leave on the stick blade.
Also, an additional thing you may want is scissors if you struggle with ripping the tape.
Before you put this together, here are the key components of his tape job:
You will need to add a piece of tape on the toe to help reinforce the toe of the blade.
Start from the heel of the blade and tape in the direction of the heel to the toe.
He uses white 1-and-a-half-inch tape and tapes nearly the entire blade.
Steps to tape your hockey stick like Connor McDavid
Rip a few inches of the tape off and place it on the toe of the stick. This will help reinforce the toe and also keep in covered.
Starting on the backhand side of the heel, place the tape about three fourths of the way up the backhand side and begin wrapping from the heel to the toe. While taping the blade be aware of how much overlap the tape has. The tape will have a decent amount of overlap, about 1/8th of the width of the one and a half inch tape.
Once you make it to the toe, make sure the entire toe is covered with tape. Depending on the overlap of tape and the length of the paddle, you may have to overshoot the toe a bit. If it is a small amount, simply press the tape down or fold a little bit over, however, if it is a large amount, you can just grab some scissors and trim the excess tape from the toe.
And that is it! Now that you have a McDavid tape job on your paddle, go score some goals!
