How to tape an ice hockey stick for street?

I have a ice hockey stick and im using for street hockey. How do i tape it up so the blade doesnt get destroyed.|||i think you should use a different stick for street hockey|||It's best not to use your game sticks for street hockey as the road always does damage to the blades. If your going to anyways then duct tape the bottom of the blade with two or three strips of tape. Don't tape the rest of the blade it makes it harder to control the ball as the tape sticks to the road, but duct tape is slippery and durable and should help to save the bottom of the blade.|||Well if you really want to tape it, I'd suggest putting several layers to protect the blade. However, it will make your stick heavier. But I wouldn't recommend it, it will rip badly, sucks even more if you have an expensive one. If it's a one-piece, you would be better removing it and using a cheap plastic blade or using a stick that is made for street hockey (abs blade) like mentioned. Their material is designed for use on concrete/asphalt so they will wear down less quickly. If you're just shooting, get a shooting plate (artificial/synthetic ice or not) or a plastic plate//plexiglas from the hardware store.|||don't use your game stick for street hockey. it's gunna get ruined veryyy quickly. use a street hockey stick or something with a fiberglass blade. or use an old stick you don't care about. i don't tape the blades of my street hockey sticks (i used to until i realized it's pointless and just gets ruined). i usually just use old wooden sticks for street. currently i'm using my broken synergy one piece. the blade broke so i cut it down, flipped the shaft, and put a cheap blade in.|||Much better idea - Get a street specific stick with an ABS blade|||DUCT TAPE!!
