My dad watched this when it came out when I started playing. He got a great kick out of this when I showed him it. Thanks Jeremy

[@Lean__enthusiast]

You know this videos old when you see a Reebok stick

[@shmuelosina9099]

I remember my old Reebok stick

[@LetsGoBuffalo72]

Man my old twig too!

[@RoniLehmusto]

Yeah Matt speaking facts

[@mathiash3541]

Am not a hockey player what’s up with reebook sticks?

[@Lean__enthusiast]

@@mathiash3541 they just haven’t made any in the past 5-7 years

[@CBBtheLakota]

exactly how i used to do it. i gotta say, this video made me a little nostalgic for the old days and hangin with the boys in the locker room.

[@mmaelite5334]

Ya I know the feeling too

[@roarfigenschow6162]

Shout out from Norway. Father, 34yrs. Son soon to be 7 finally found the joy of and the passion for skating and hockey. As I put my gear away many years ago I was truly happy to find your videos to get back some forgotten knowledge and to be even more supportive to my son!👍

[@joannoliveira7945]

Thanks a bunch!!! When I bought my son’s first stick, the guy at the shop taped it up for me just like this. They didn’t tape it for me the next time, and I was so lost on how to get that grip. I was wondering if it was just twisted tape, but I didn’t see how it was done. Nice to see that it’s pretty simple to do myself. Mama’s got this one! Thank you!☺️

[@nick1372]

I use Tennis overgrips. They're meant to cover the grip of tennis racquets, so they're very grippy but also very comfortable. I find I like the feel better than actual hockey tape or grip tape. Not many people use this and I STRONGLY recommend it.

[@derekm3304]

That's a neat trick. I'm new to playing hockey and when I retape my stick I will do it this way. Just got done taping the blade from your video. Thanks for the tips.

You are here when my parents weren’t! Thank you coach:) I’m starting hockey next year! I’ve never felt so happy

[@evannoe4612]

I'm Twelve, and even though this video is as old as I am, it still helped me greatly. Thank you for teaching me this useful skill.

[@ReinierKaper]

Thanks for these tips, I'm about to play hockey with some friends this weekend for the first time in ages and this was a nice reminder on how to prepare my stick. Cheers!

[@alexmurphy5289]

These videos have helped me a ton, and even though I have tweaked my knob here and there I still keep it very similar to what you originally showed. Thanks a bunch!

[@MisterSym]

Thanks so much for your instructional videos. I started playing hockey at 37, and you've given the most straightforward, coherent advice of any instructional I've watched so far. My footwork and stick work benefit greatly from it. And as a coach, so will my young hockey players' skills!

[@vincentcaudo-engelmann9057]

Cheers. Started at 36 (2years ago)

[@jgosto1967]

started at 36 myself

[@MisterSym]

Welcome to the EXCLUSIVE club, brothers and sisters! ;)

[@jay9950]

Thanks for the video Jeremy. 51 and NEVER played hockey before the 10 week session I just finished for adults wanting to learn how to play hockey. Just got a new stick which is now all taped up ready to go for the next 10 week session I just joined!!

[@KIDSonCONGAS]

Both your videos on stick bottom and knob are fabulous thank you. I am playing my first game tonight (long time skater but no time player??!). Saved me......

[@rover256]

Thank you man this was the first time taping my own stick and I really like the extra grip lines on it

[@marcellsimon2129]

Thank you! It looks awesome on my stick!

[@Timber1509]

Love the trick with the twisted tape. Thanks for sharing.

[@andrewpersaud4144]

can barely tie my shoe and this chap wants me to do this hi tech taping

[@justasasquatchwithinternet1775]

Very high tech. Very

[@pichecma]

Thanks for the tips. I just got sticks for my kids to play in the yard. Very easy to do and the knob looks great!

[@megaquaz6025]

I couldn't figure out how to do the small knob and then I watched ur video and it really helped

[@psychdude]

I used to tape like this - I just discovered, this summer, tennis overgrip. Seriously. I make the knob with hockey tape, but then cover the top 10" with tennis overgrip. It's incredible. Stays tacky when wet, no grit like hockey tape, so it doesn't ruin your gloves. Love it!

[@loganpalmiter3911]

Black tennis grip will still ruin your gloves

[@psychdude]

Logan Palmiter it hasn't so far. Hasn't even made a little bit of a mark. And there is no difference between black and white tennis over grip other than the colours. No textural difference at all.

[@kevinwrightm]

I do it this way also with white overgrip tape. It doesn't last as long as it does on my racket but a good 15 games and it still holds up, still good feel and grip.

[@marcdell33]

Thanks for taking the time to post J.Awesome!!!

[@njevansYT]

Thanks for the great videos. Just bought some new hockey gear and haven't skated in like 12+ years. When I was a kid my Dad always taped up my stick for me, lol. You made it look super easy, thank you.

[@abraarkhan7941]

This channel is bloody amazing.

[@Slakass55]

Great tips, like how you keep the knob at the top short. For years I used the full width of the tape, which is unnecessary, adds extra weight and wastes tape. Also good point on using white tape for the grip, as it leaves less marks. Will be doing this for my kids from now on. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@njoutdoorsmen]

Nice tip man! I just made the grip and it's awesome. Thanks!

[@dinabraunstein265]

Thanks so much! I loved the spinning the tape to make finger grips idea!

[@bennelson65]

Thank you my uncle got me a hockey stick for christmas and I got rollorblades from my parents this helped me tape my stick thank you.

[@Nettspendd]

These videos give me so much good nostalgia

[@annatxite]

Thanks for making this video! It helped me alot

[@bardownrush.1641]

Thanks all of your videos teach me a lot.

[@Psilocybeen123]

dude your the best lol. I'm a beginner like doing hockey for about 1 month, i'm pretty good. my friend is 12 and he's in bantam aa and he says i could probably go to peewee aa. thanks to you, you have taught me many moves like slapshot, snapshot, wristshot, and tape jobs and drills. thanks to you, i actually have a good impression on my friends and they think i'm good for a beginner. once again, thanks :)

[@McKjordank]

Thanks man this helped a lot there's so much more grip now thanks

[@mattcrome8084]

Thanks for the guide, your way works much better for me. Thanks Man!

[@ChrisMartin-to4xg]

Thanks for the vids, clean and easy to understand. Much appreciated.

[@fogboyenterprise2724]

I tape my stick with an led precision laser, with an automatic built in hammer style shooting apparatus. My stick cost my dad 13 thousand dollars but he says i need to be in the nhl.

[@pears0094]

+Eric Cartmenez 13 THOUSAND!? You mean, 13 Hundred??? $1,300... $13,000 dollars for a stick is like the same amount for a new car... (I've never heard of such a thing...)

[@pears0094]

Eric Cartmenez Okay, I get it... You're joking and it wasn't a typo... You should do "Stand Up"... I'm sure you'd be a hit, eeeerrrrr...

[@mlg_420quickscope]

pears009 DURRRR use your brain

[@localshinestar]

This had me dead

[@Samtabulous]

Thank you so much for this video! My son just started hockey and I had no idea how to "hockey" at all, and this helped so much!

[@anthonytriola4688]

Used this method to tape my new stick and it feels great! Thanks for a great video!

[@datsyuk13a]

i split tape in half and make knob about 1/2 an inch thick, and i grip it down about a foot and a half with white tape... love the videos man, keep them coming!

[@Shilling7]

Love the videos. Keep em coming!

[@reynerprussing4647]

Thanks, this really helped.

[@nicholasgingras65]

Thank you Jeremy! This helped me tape my hockey stick that i got for christmas.

[@JackKaufmann]

Thanks for this great video I really love that grip job and I will be using that for now on thanks 😀

[@yvesdurrenmatt4421]

Nice content dude 👌🏼 I support you

[@Nammsayin]

thank you for your videos! my son just started hockey & now his stick looks professional!

[@lydiaz3566]

awsome video, awsome channel, the best on youtube! cheers mate!

[@billyg06r]

Great job and you make great videos every time

[@jjarvis6698]

Thanks for the tip! Works great.

[@shrks2cup20]

This video helped me a lot. I do that small knob, but I always ripped the tape while taping. Now I can save the tape for when I re-tape my stick. Thanks.

[@99malik99]

Just used this technique yesterday...thank you!

[@elliechris893]

This was helpful! Thank you!

[@heatherbessey4299]

Thank you! My husband works all the time and I am stuck trying to figure this out for my 1st time hockey kid and man this is helpful!!!!

[@johncrowley4921]

Regarding the plastic plug at the top of the stick. I put tape across that both ways to make sure it does not come out. It can come out and the first time it resulted in seven stitches to the little finger when top hand hit a stanchion between the glass panels - granted the gloves may have been worn out but that's a common situation.

[@iiiiii9213]

Can confirm that that this was done perfectly and worked great on my Lacrosse shaft. Thank you.

[@thegryphon26right50]

Thank you for the video just started playing a few days ago so needed to know how to tape the stick

[@oogilygumballs]

incredibly thorough thank you

[@moonie227]

Thanks a lot for your knowledgeable video. It was so easy to follow your instructions. Never thought of being a hockey mom, now I have to learn all these technics. 😅😅😅

[@Sidcynic1]

Since electrical tape is a little cheaper, I use that to build up my grip and knob... then simply do the final cover with the fibre/hockey tape.

[@Valtsuuu]

Worked, thanks for the tip! :D

[@Valtsuuu]

Yes. I'm unemployed, so all money I save is worth it.

[@Valtsuuu]

I can't work. I have certain disease. I don't actually play hockey, I just happen to go to the rink and take some wrist shots for 1-2 hours.

[@supersly3211]

Good tip, thanks!

[@hesusmushendwa7663]

Nice

[@llthatonecatpersonll]

this is great it helped me so much with taping my stick tysm for this

[@Mattorious]

Great videos, I was wondering where in your top hand does the knob sit? I've seen players with it in the middle of the hand and others that hold it in the heal of their hand. Just curious. Thanks again!

[@grizzlybayer5783]

great video, thanks man!

[@xerokirby5021]

I’m getting a new stick and I didn’t know how to tape one, but with your help now I know

[@chuwa34]

thanks , that helped a lot , im gonna tape all of my stick like this now :)

[@jeffreyadams8345]

Thanks Jeremy, getting back into an adult league after not playing since youth hockey, this is helpful

[@NHJules]

That was really helpful. Thank you!

[@Buddpud]

Again, informative vid and thanks.

[@BadMofoMusicCritic]

46 year old beginner here, need to get up to speed to help out my son (and some exercise for dad). Thanks for the video. Sub’d

[@danielgreiss6820]

i use a different method on the knob and i tried this method and it works for me better then my old method thanks.

[@supersly3211]

Thanks for the videos, I’m a subscriber now.

[@FloridaMan05]

just tried doing what you did and i like it! breaking in my new stick tonight! :D

[@chayscott]

That's awesome. This is the way I have been doing my stick since the early 90's. my dad showed me, no idea how long he has done it for.

[@lee-lee2418]

Great! Thanks for making it easy 😄

[@02parf]

great informative videos!

[@emilylebel7106]

Your knob looks solid and quite firm. Well done you.

[@dylanmallett2547]

That grip tip was useful 🥳

[@jadejohnson3617]

u make really good videos and thank u 4 that

[@jaydog7024]

I like this technique. I do the handle the same way, just full width of tape, but this is a good tip on how to do more with less. On the toe, I like 2 layers of tape for the soft cushion it gives when handling the puck.

[@todorokii1588]

This helped me so much thank you

[@KevNoonz]

Great video, nice to see you repping Canada :)

[@dknitro1332]

I do my tape job the exact same way as you, it really works for me!

[@webbberman]

Solid. Thank you!

[@brittanyklein2990]

Thanks for this! 👍🏻🏒

[@joeycocco4033]

I used boot laces for the grip...worked amazing

[@whisperthebull6707]

Great video for newcomers and parents of hockey kids!

[@johnflipzzz1046]

Very helpful thank you

[@jordannaA]

I have just bought the exact reebok stick so I am definitely going to tape my stick in same manner.

[@-hungryhippo-6227]

I tape my blade the same way, but I do a candy cane design on the shaft so I have a grip on my whole shaft. I also use white for my blade and orange for the can't cane design on the shaft. this is on my street hockey stick

[@marecare1307]

Looks great 👍

[@tegandahlke2771]

Haven’t wrapped a stick in years! Thanks for the refresh!

[@stephanw5564]

Great video, anybody playing with helmet grilles should build a knob big enough that the top of the stick can no longer poke through the largest grill holes

[@ShadySLAYER666]

I do the blade the exact same way he does it for the same reason. For the handle I take two little pieces and lay them perpendicular on the very top on top of the plug and bend them over (just to cover the plug, I think it looks nicer), and then I start at the top and tape it so that when I'm holding my stick the tape goes about 2-3 inches past where my glove ends. I don't do a knob at the end because I've always held my hockey stick at the very end and it seems awkward for me to have it. I've tried the "rope grip" technique that was shown in the video but I prefer a nice, consistant, even feel. Also, If you feel lazy or you're in a hurry instead of retaping the entire blade just take a strip of tape and put it along the bottom edge of your blade (where it touches the ice) and then bend it over and that should hold you over for practice.

[@XGrim__ReaperX]

I never thought about taping up my stick that way. It works so much better but the only thing i left out was the knob at the top end of my stick because i like having more of a leveled surface all along the top grip.

[@andrewvoll3224]

I use this method also. I bought a used Reebok stick from Play it Again Sports and the last owner had done this, so I dissected it and figured it out. I honestly thought it would be string under the tape but it wasnt, I think I will refer to this as the "MacGyver Tape Job" haha

[@dylanhemmelgarn9204]

Thank you so much, just in time 4 hockey season :D

[@EVE101Patt]

awesome - thx for the vid, man!

[@mikos317]

Great video - I taped my son's stick and he loved it.

[@Bassani97]

Not sure how to video reply, so here’s mine… Start with a knob, using 1” cloth tape I do 18 rounds. After that I take 3 strips to cover the top, knob & about a 1/2” under the knob making sure to fold the sides for a cleaner finish. I then go around that with 1 full wrap starting from the knob to about 1.5 inches below the bottom of the knob (similar to your top layer). Finish off with some baby powder to take away the tackiness from the tape. Basically I just like to know where the end of the stick is & I hate any other sort of grip & want full freedom of movement to slide as I wish without hinderance. Any sticks that I get that have that grip tac crap on it I will sand down so it’s as smooth as a babies bum (needless to say at that point that I get cheaper sticks as a result). I might have to try the ripping method to save some tape.

[@Sammweber93]

"And uh now I'll show you how I tape my knob..."

[@thephenomenalcrew]

I like to tape the entire blade and half the shaft. Just a preference and that's what I love about it there is no wrong way to tape your stick. You tape it the way you like it.

[@lynux2096]

That O stick brings me back bro
