First off, I'm not a hockey player, so I can't admit to having any of these biases going on - (I do have somewhat similar ideas on my golf clubs mind you, but that's another post for another time). Now, I can and do skate - and not badly either, but hockey - nope, not yet, but the thought has crossed my mind a number of times about doing something crazy like joining a Mens Drop In league just for fun and exercise - more to come on that in the future.

I found this article interesting and somewhat fascinating about how and why the author (Yahoo - Justin Bourne) chooses and tapes his sticks the way he does.

So - for those of you that do play hockey - it's the NHL offseason, so indulge us - what do you prefer and why....sticks, tape, wax, curves, and the like.
