Hockey Blade Covers

I purchased an ice hockey stick for use on pavement. The blade is composite-covered wood. The parking lot is sanding the blade tremendously; is there anything I can do, or should I wait 'til it dies and then buy a street hockey plastic one?

Thanks.

It's probably damaged beyond repair at this point, so you might as well use it until it breaks or wears down to a toothpick.
Next time look for an ABS blade; the street hockey plastic ones like Mylec and Inglas i only use on gym floors where they're the only ones allowed.

Im a very fast skater in hockey, one of the fastest on my teams. i sharpen my skates once a week and i keep blade covers on them and i also dry them off after every game. for some reason, whenever i do tight turns, every so often i just seem to lose my edge and fall. why is this happenening? do ineed new blades, are they too small?

You should not have to sharpen your skates once a week. I would talk to the people sharpening your skates and make sure it is being done correctly. Maybe have your coach take a look at the skate blade and see if anything is noticeable.

Always store your skates with terry soakers on the blades .
Avoids rusted blades and protects edges while in your bag or locker.
Use Universal blade guards for walking.

hi i play hockey with a graphite stick and i tape the blade with black hockey tape. it always wears off after 1 game and then the blade isnt covered with tape. i heard that there are some ways to keep the tape stay on longer. can you please tell me what those ways are?

try a better/different kind of tape.

I have hockey skates that I haven't used for about 2 years. I want to start going ice skating again, but noticed that there's just a little bit of rust, a very thin layer on the lower part of the side of the blades. It doesn't even cover all the blade, just a little bit.

Can I get these skates sharpened? Will that take care of the little bit of rust?

Get them sharpened, it will take care of the rust.

I had some rust on my skates, had them sharpened, and the rust is gone. Just be sure to dry the blade completely when you are done skating, this prevents rust.

Recently got back into hockey again. I got a wood stick with an ABS blade because those are supposed to be good for streets and stuff. I wouldn't really know how to describe it but it has some sort of plastic covering or laminating on the blade and it has completely worn off the bottom after 1 day.what should i do? Is this bad? should i just rip the rest off?

It's a road hockey stick, you play with it until the end turns into a nub and then you buy a new one.
