Dubbed #399PRO, this white cloth tape now has an even brighter, more crisp white look, smoother and more consistent unwind from the roll and increased adhesion, giving our athletes better control of the puck. While some of these technicalities may not sound exciting to many people out there, we tried it and tested it countless times (on ice, off ice, in the lab, etc), and this product is OFF THE CHARTS!
We currently have some of our NCAA and Professional team customers trying it out for additional feedback, but we anticipate adding it to the HockeyTapeOnline.com suite of products in the very near future!
]]>One high note that we experienced was when one of our professional customers scored his first NHL goal. Anton Belov (pictured below) of the Edmonton Oilers potted his first NHL goal on January 10th against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He also played for Russia in Sochi, which was a tremendous honor. It was quite exciting to see him earn a spot to represent his country...he's doing a great job this year, despite Edmonton's tough record.
We're looking forward to watching the NHL season continue, and hope to keep growing our business. We've had some excellent reviews of our different hockey tapes, and the pricing/ savings are a huge reason people have continued to be pleased with us. We're extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with the hockey community and love what we do! We wish everyone the best of luck as you head down the home stretch with your respective seasons.

As we hit the Thanksgiving stretch here, we are absolutely going to be participating in Cyber Monday, and will do so by offering a 10% discount on all orders placed between Sunday 11/27 and Tuesday 11/29 in the morning. You can get the discount by using the code "CYB13" at checkout, so we hope you'll take advantage of the added savings!
In a time where we need to realize how thankful we all are, we want to thank our visitors and customers for the opportunity to earn their business. Without you, we would be nothing! Thanks again and enjoy a great Holiday.
]]>Along the way, we've been able to grow our reach through a number of avenues and lucked out with quite a few people giving us an opportunity to help them save money on their hockey tape needs. In addition to the great base of individual customers we continue to work with across North America, we've been lucky enough to work with many EJHL, USHL, NCAA Division 1, and NCAA Division 3 teams across the country along with several retailers. The plan is to continue reaching out in hopes that the hockey world will actually take a second to consider the savings we're able to provide. Where our sport certainly isn't cheap to participate in, we enjoy doing everything possible to ensure you keep as much of your hard-earned money in your own pocket.
In reflecting on our first year as a business, the most important thing we can say is "thank you." Without our customers, friends, family, partners, and supporters, we would be nowhere. We're grateful that so many have given us the opportunity to work hard for them and look forward to continued growth throughout Year 2!
]]>Between Christmas and New Years, we get to see the World Junior Tournament which is awesome. These are the top players in the world in their age bracket and many of them have already had their rights claimed via the NHL draft. With no NHL season to take in, this is a great chance to watch world class athletes compete on an international stage.
We're getting close to our first full year as a business and we are taking this time during the Holidays to reflect and be grateful for how far this whole website has come. We appreciate all of our friends, partners, and customers and hope everyone has a safe, healthy, and enjoyable Holiday stretch!
]]>It's a shame to see that we can't currently watch the most talented professionals play right now in the U.S. but there are plenty of other options out there. Where do you live? Look around - there are plenty of talented junior leagues and teams to go along with a wide range of D1 & D3 NCAA teams to watch. On top of all of that, there are a ton of different professional hockey leagues out there (SPHL, CHL, ECHL, AHL, etc) where you can actually see a solid group of NHL regulars playing due to the current lockout.
From the NHL all the way down to the youngest group of hockey players out there, everyone uses hockey tape...we're growing rapidly and continue to find our way into more and more locker rooms at various levels throughout North America and we want to thank our customers for giving us the opportunity to show them how we can help to save money!
]]>FREE SHIPPING! Right now, we're able to offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders in the continental US!
In addition to our growing range of D1 & D3 NCAA teams, junior teams/ leagues across the country, and many new individual orders from players, parents, and coaches, we've been able to also help a variety of youth hockey organizations save money on tape with our new fundraising program. It's a very simple way for an organization to access our hockey tape at rock-bottom prices while generating a modest profit to help benefit their fundraising efforts. For more information, give us a shout/ email any time!
Many thanks to our growing customer base for all of their support - it's been a great ride so far and we can't wait to keep the updates coming!

Needless to say, we were quite excited to see that they enjoyed the quality of our products, but they also did a great job of spreading the word on our unbeatable prices. This, coupled with steady growth on Facebook & Twitter has helped us to continue to reach more and more people to show them how to save money within our awesome sport.
We've secured several great college customers throughout the country and couldn't be happier! For a small company, things are going great and we love interacting with so many people who share a passion for our game.
]]>We just had a great day interacting with parents, players, and other companies at the International Goaltending Competition in Tewksbury, MA, and it looks like each athlete was sad to see their most recent seasons come to a close, but they were all excited for a fun summer of good times with friends, training hard, and preparing themselves for a fresh start in the fall.
With a number of recent success stories of our own, we are excited to have grown our customer base to include several D1 & D3 college teams, junior teams, and youth leagues and organizations across the country. Just like hockey players themselves, we will also be working hard throughout the summer to make sure we're positioned to best-serve the hockey community throughout North America as next season approaches. Until then, we're enjoying the ride and the challenges that come with it!
]]>What a great question - the answer? It varies! In different pro-shops around the country, hockey tape is most-typically sold in lengths of 20, 25, or 30 yards. The two most common widths for cloth tape are either 1 or 1.5 inches while black friction tape is found to have widths of either .75 or 1 inch. With all these variations out there that you may (or may not) be used to, we felt it made sense to offer as much as possible without getting too crazy/ confusing. The other notable fact to consider is that if our tape is stored properly (in a cool, dry place like a basement), it will last for 2-3 years on average. Running low? Grab a roll from your case and off you go - a little convenience never hurt anyone!
Hockey tape is such a simple product, yet it's one we can't play the game without. That's exactly why we offer high-quality tape at the best prices around. No matter what dimensions you prefer for your game, we can get it to you fast and save you a considerable amount of money doing it.
]]>Whether it's a free quote, a custom team order, or a hockey parent looking to save money for one or more kids who love to play the game, we are here to pass the savings on to YOU! Consider the following example for the average youth hockey player:
We're all excited to put the finishing touches on the site and bring you great deals on all kinds of hockey tape. In addition to our tape, we just partnered with an awesome company called Secret Weapon Stick Wax...they make an unreal stick wax called Incredible Ice and they're a great group of guys who love the game just as much as we do. There's ALWAYS free shipping on Secret Weapon Stick Wax through our site, so order some and give it a try!
The countdown is on...just a few more days!

It's crazy how skilled each player is in the tournament (all are under age 20) - While many expect to see perennial contenders Canada & the U.S. go head-to-head in the finals, it's easy to overlook other powerful squads like Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, & Russia. Many players who will take to the ice in this year's tournament are extremely close to realizing their dream of an NHL career. No fewer than 57 players who played in the 2010 and 2011 competitions already have made their League debut - a statistic in itself that shows how much of a measuring stick this event really is.
Well, it's back to work on our end of things - we need to work out the kinks so we can get you all the tape you need!
