  • Our take on the Howies Hockey Stick Wax

    Howies Hockey Stick Wax is a rub-on wax for wooden and composite hockey sticks. It goes on the blade and lower shaft to cut friction on ice and tape, which players say helps the puck release cleaner and keeps snow from caking on the blade. It suits any senior player who tapes their own sticks and wants a small, cheap upgrade to feel and puck control. It is not a structural product like a carbon shaft or a replacement blade, so it competes with other stick waxes and tapes rather than with sticks themselves.

    Questions and answers

    Does stick wax work on composite sticks?
    Yes. It is meant for taped blades on both wooden and composite sticks. Rub it on the tape, not bare carbon.
    How often should I apply it?
    Most players reapply before each game or every couple of skates. A thin coat is enough; too much feels tacky.
    Will it make my stick last longer?
    No. It protects the tape and reduces blade friction, but it does not strengthen the shaft or blade.
    Does it help with shot accuracy?
    It can give a more consistent release off the tape, but it will not change a stick's kick point or flex.
    Is it safe for all tape types?
    It works with standard cloth and grip tapes. Very slick or specialty tapes may hold wax poorly.
    How much wax is in a tin?
    A small tin lasts a long time because each application is a thin coat. Most players get a full season or more from one.
