A friend of ours in North Carolina had been going back and forth through a conversation we were having about a week ago when he raised a great point: What size tape does he typically buy at his local pro-shop?
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.
