Best Ice Hockey Grips & Tapes of 2025

"I find Howies tape to be the best! It sticks and holds perfectly throughout the entire game or practice."

"My son loves this white hockey tape! It's easy to put on and take off, so I’ll keep buying it."

"For anyone with a youth hockey player, this tape is essential! It keeps the socks up and comes off easily."

"This stuff is awesome! The quality is fantastic and it's very sticky. The color is great too. Well worth the money!"

"I've used it on my pull-up bar and it holds without any issues. It looks great and feels just right. I highly recommend it!"

"This product matches all my other M81 kit and makes my mags look super good. After buying it, I’ve already recommended this to multiple people. It makes my Glocks look sick too. Highly recommend!"

"I think this is a fantastic wrap. Its cloth-like texture feels great in my hand. I will definitely buy it again!"

"I always have a roll of this tape handy, not necessarily for its intended purpose. It works for everything and holds tight without leaving a mess, unlike gaffing tape. I use it on my thumb when fishing in saltwater to prevent skin wear. While it doesn't stick well when wet, it adheres to itself quite nicely. I consider it a structural backbone, and I’d recommend using another tape for moisture protection."

"When I first received this tape, I was surprised by how much there was—it's a lot of tape! However, it works wonderfully, making it a great purchase. I won’t need to buy more for a long time."

"This tape works perfectly for my kids. It's easy to tear, but it stays in place and holds socks up. Plus, it's well priced!"

"I've switched to this brand's shin tape after years with Howie's, and I must say, it holds well and is easy to rip."

"We use this tape daily for my grandson’s hockey socks. It works great!"

"I've found that this hockey tape, combined with Certain Dri, is really effective for my daily tasks like using my keyboard and mouse. It does leave some residue, but it’s not as bad as other tapes. The Certain Dri powder helps eliminate any leftover stickiness and smooths out the tape for easier use on things like my chair and wrist rest. When my hands get soaked with sweat, the tape can get a bit slippery, but overall, it holds up well and dries quickly, especially with a fan."

"For the amount of tape I received, the price is quite good. Initially, I faced an issue where the tape was sticky on the outside after I wrapped my sticks for the first time. Thankfully, after a few uses, it settled down. It's not the best option if you’re trying to keep your gloves pristine since it requires a bit of a 'break-in' period, but once that’s over, it stays in place, doesn’t curl, and feels durable."

"I bought this tape for wrapping handrails around my home, especially with the wet and freezing conditions here in SW Oregon. It can make handrails slick and hard to grip, but this tape has really helped. I even use it on outdoor chairs to assist with getting up and down. Next, I plan to use it on some of my garden tools!"

"I find this tape to be excellent quality and it truly gets the job done. If you need reliable sock or skate tape, this is the one. Plus, buying a pack is much cheaper than single rolls in retail."

"Having recently bought this product, I'm absolutely thrilled! From the start, I noticed a significant improvement in my daily routine. The quality is outstanding, and the design is clearly well thought out. It's incredibly user-friendly, seamlessly integrating into my life. The performance has exceeded my expectations in every way. The attention to detail is impressive, and it’s durable and reliable. The customer service was also very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a high-quality solution. It's a fantastic investment!"

"I used to play hockey a lot in my younger days, and this tape has always been my go-to. Now that I'm into CrossFit, I still use it. I love that it's the perfect size for wrapping around my thumbs while lifting weights, providing a good grip without discomfort. It doesn't stretch out like some other tapes do, maintaining its stickiness throughout my workouts. Plus, it’s much cheaper than the specific brands marketed for CrossFit, but works just as well, if not better!"

"I really like this tape. Its stickiness is impressive, and it comes off the roll smoothly without fraying. It's thick enough for durability yet thin enough to tear easily. However, I wish the color was a bit richer, as I prefer a more vivid red. Still, I'm happy with the Rhino tape!"

"As someone in my 60s with old hand tools, I appreciate the tackiness of Rhino tape. It feels more durable than other brands I've tried. My hammers stay securely in my grip, which I love when I'm breaking up bricks. Some friends found it too sticky, but it works perfectly for me, especially in cold weather!"

"I use this white tape as a base layer for my son's patterned hockey tape. It works excellently for this purpose, protecting the more expensive tape on top. Great for layering!"

"With no pro shop nearby, I really appreciate having a reliable source of quality hockey consumables."

"I have three kids who go through tape quickly; the 10 pack saves me trips to the pro shop. The quality is just as good as what I’ve bought there."

"After playing hockey for 30 years, I can confidently say this is my favorite tape. It’s easy for my kids to use, and everyone in the locker room wants to borrow it! I wish they offered wider and narrower options for the cloth tape, but overall, I highly recommend it."

"I’m not a pro, just playing locally for fun, but I love using Lizard Skins on my and my son's sticks. It provides a comfortable grip and dampens the impact nicely. After a wrist injury, I switched to another stick without it and had to buy one again—ironic, right? I’ve been using my blue Lizard Skin for over a year with minimal wear, but just a heads up, it did color my hockey gloves a bit after a while."

"I got this for my son to use on his hockey sticks, and it works wonderfully! He loves the grip it provides."

"I applied this to my hockey stick, and the grip is fantastic. However, after some time, it started to fall apart and lost its stickiness. I feel like the price is a bit high considering it’s less durable than tape."

"I replace my bicycle handlebar tape a couple of times each year. This product works pretty well, though I wish it was a bit thicker. I usually double-wrap, so that helps."

"My son applied this to his new lacrosse stick, and it looks fantastic. It significantly improves grip on a slick stick, especially when wearing bulky lacrosse gloves. After several pre-season practices, it's holding up excellently under heavy use and still looks great. The value is impressive with two rolls included. I even used it on an older hammer that needed better grip, and it worked wonders. Highly recommend for lacrosse and other sports!"

"I was initially going to purchase hockey tape from a big box sporting goods store, but I decided to try this instead. It's half the price and seems to be just as good. It adhered nicely and has a great, grippy surface—not sticky at all. So far, I'm pleased with my choice."
