What is goon tape?

Goon tape is a type of hockey tape used to wrap around the blade of a hockey stick to give it more grip on the puck and to protect it from wear and tear. It gets its name from the term "goon" which refers to a rough and aggressive hockey player. The tape is typically made of woven cotton fibers that are coated with a sticky adhesive on one side. It comes in a variety of colors and is often used by hockey players to customize the look of their stick. Goon tape is preferred by some players over other types of hockey tape because of its durability and ability to stick in cold weather.
