blizzard said:I am not saying.... that just because I tuck my jersey... my team mates give me respect... heck... I wish it was that easy! It's more so... in my opinion... the other teams view on you... that fashion "statements" seem to make an impression. As stupid as it sounds... but coming from a player and coach... I am a believer in this. Kinda like judging a book by it's cover... sometimes you win.. sometimes u lose... but u can not help but to judge.
OFF SUBJECT AGAIN
This maybe true in woman's hockey, but in male hockey that is totally false! From a male perspective, Your not out there playing an aggressive and physical sport to make a fashion statement. The black tape definitely makes a difference when playing a fast paced game (1) The black tape years ago was much more stickier than white tape allowing the puck to hang to your blade better. Although, It did collect alot more snow from the ice too. The black tape worked more like stick-um sometimes that professional football players use on their gloves to catch a ball. The black tape being sticky allowed your stick to really hug the puck better (2) When playing division I hockey or semi-pro hockey this camoflauge can make a big difference if the defensive player loses their concentration for a split second or goalie loses concentration for split second. That split second could give you the opportunity to blow by the player or blast that puck past the goalie. Since this thread is more on pictures this will be my last post regarding ice hockey. If anybody has been offended bringing out the gender subject...The fact is that male hockey is much faster paced than female hockey.
