Again, what kind of tape do you use for hockey sticks? There are several kinds of hockey tape used by ice hockey, field hockey, roller hockey, and lacrosse players: stick (or blade) tape, shin pad tape and grip tapes.
On another note, what color hockey tape should I use?
You should use any color tape on your stick that you like and are comfortable with. Using white tape on the stick makes it easier for the goalie to see the puck and read your shot.
Do NHL players tape their own sticks?
Players retape their sticks all the time, and often have their blades changed on their skates during the game and during intermission.

Renfrew Cloth Hockey Tape, 1" (Black XT, 18m)
Pro-Blade XT, Woven cotton cloth tape, with serrated edge for tearing easier by hand.
Can be used for taping blades, grips, handles and equipment.
Thicker, more consistent coating of adhesive creates a moisture barrier between the ice and your stick.
The reasons are obvious: Tape makes a stick easier to hold. Tape “softens” the blade, making it easier to corral a pass, lets the puck linger in your cagey control, or allows you to snap a precise wrister through the five-hole. Tape protects the blade, helping it survive the brunt of your cannonading slap shots.
Boston Bruins star David Pastrnak got a couple mentions, too, with Shayne Gostisbehere describing it as the weirdest tape job he's ever seen and Pastrnak's own goalie Tuukka Rask saying in a video the NHL posted Tuesday that “it looks like a two-year-old tapes his stick.”
There are also different kinds of tape to choose, ranging from the widely used thin black tape to a thicker extra sticky version known as “Friction” or “Gordie Howe Tape”. Another myth is that white tape is for the skilled stick handlers because they can see the puck better on their stick.
Throwing Blade You can tape from toe to heel or heel to toe. Heel to toe makes for easier trimming and leaves “seams” that face the heel. Start with the tape a half-inch or so from the top of the blade, on the back. Wind up and over the top of the blade, down the front side and up the back, and so on until you're done.
We sharpen every player's skates before every game. ... Some guys, like Sidney Crosby -- who I worked with at the Olympics in Sochi this year -- get their skates sharpened between every period, whether they need it done or not. It's amazing how sensitive hockey players are about their skates. They can feel every bad edge.
ALL INSIDE THE EQUIPMENT ROOM STORIES › We take out the gloves. Some players like to switch gloves during the period so we make sure they have available a second and third pair. When the game is over, and after the press leaves, we set up the stalls, hang everything, and pull insoles out of skates so they dry.
