If you are looking for high quality Renfrew hockey tape then ask for it by name. This tape is very high quality and will not tear easily or come off your hockey stick very easily. Many NHL teams and your favorite players use Renfrew hockey tape widely because in the professional leagues you cannot sacrifice quality on any equipment.
NHL farm teams also use high quality Renfrew hockey tape for the best results. Its special adhesive allows the puck to stick and grip to your stick allowing better puck control in wet conditions while not peeling off. If you do cut corners and purchase cheap tape for your hockey stick you will see what we mean when the tape peels after the first period.
Some players will try to rub a candle against the blade of the hockey stick to stop from the moisture seeping though the tape. This is a disadvantage as the puck slides off your blade easier and contrary to what some believe if you used high quality Renfrew hockey tape you would not have to try these candle techniques.
