The purpose of hockey tape is to create better grip on the puck. The reason hockey tape doesn’t come integrated onto a stick is because it wears off and requires to be retaped. Newer sticks come with specially designed blades and are there to create as much grip as possible but it is limited because companies are doing this with a stick designed to last a long time. Usually sticks need to be retaped after 2 uses or so. Hockey tape loses a lot of effectiveness when wet from snow, or water on the ice. Hockey wax prevents snow from sticking to the blade and also slows down the wearing of the tape.
