Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the world's highest quality hockey tape and accessories.
What makes Howies Hockey Tape different from other brands?
Howies is engineered with a higher thread count and a premium adhesive formula. Our tape is designed to stay on your blade longer, resist moisture buildup, and provide superior puck control compared to standard retail tapes.
How long does shipping take for domestic orders?
Most orders are processed within 24 hours. Depending on your location, standard shipping typically takes 2-5 business days. We offer expedited shipping options at checkout if you need your tape before the next puck drop.
Do you offer bulk discounts for teams or associations?
Yes, we offer tiered pricing for bulk orders of tape, laces, and wax. Please contact our team sales department through our contact page to set up a wholesale account or request a quote for your organization.
What is your return policy?
We stand behind our products 100%. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return unused items in their original packaging within 30 days for a full refund or exchange.
Does your stick wax help prevent ice buildup?
Absolutely. Howies Stick Wax is specifically formulated with a blend of soft microcrystalline and other waxes to provide a tacky feel for control while creating a water-repellent barrier that prevents ice from sticking to your blade.
Which size laces should I buy for my skates?
As a general rule: Junior skates (size 3-5.5) typically use 84-inch laces, Senior skates (size 6-9) use 96-inch or 108-inch laces, and larger skates (size 10+) usually require 120-inch laces.
