You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You should start by purchasing a roll of hockey tape. Usually the blade section of a hockey stick is taped with either white or black tape. Some claim that black tape hides the puck, so when shooting on a goalie it makes it harder for the goaltender to see the puck. You also will need to tape the top of the stick where your strong hand will be. For a right-handed person, this would mean your right hand goes on top. It is the opposite for a left-hander. However, whatever feels the most comfortable should determine which way a player shoots.

The attached video shows the most common way to tape the blade of a hockey stick. Typically this is done from the heel (the narrow section) to the toe (the wider section) so that the puck spins from rolling off the successive rolls of tape when released off the blade in a shot. This is the commonly accepted taping technique for ice hockey.

Some roller hockey or street hockey players prefer to have no tape on the bottom of the blade, because it creates friction with the rougher playing surface and slows down the sliding of the blade. These players will sometimes tape a stick in long strips that run down the length of the blade. Typically 3-4 strips of tape will cover each side of the blade in tape using this technique.

As for the top of the stick, most players tape in a similar fashion as the first blade-taping technique. Simply wrap the tape at an angle around the shaft until it covers slightly more than the width of your hand when in a hockey glove, and cut the tape. Then run 10 or more layers of tape horizontally around the very top of the shaft. This will create a "handle" to prevent the stick from falling out of your hand, and also will be an indicator that you've reached the top of your shaft without having to look down at your stick. This helps with the "feel" of the stick in your hands.

I hope this helps! Thanks.
