We've seen some unique tape-jobs over the years in the NHL and we're happy that players continue to push the boundaries on how they tape their sticks.
By now, everyone has seen David Pastrnak's bizarre tape job, but there's another player that we don't think is getting enough attention for his tape job and that player is Josh Ho-Sang of the New York Islanders.
Ho-Sang was just recalled by the Islanders and scored his first goal of the season Tuesday night in a win over the Coyotes. The reason his tape job hasn't been getting as much attention (in our opinion) is that the hockey world just hasn't seen him play all that much this season.
Ho-Sang was down in the AHL and his strong start to the season (22 points in 26 games) earned him an opportunity with the big club. As far as we can tell, though, his odd tape job was one he used in the AHL as well.
Going back on Getty Images, we've discovered that he made the change around January of this year. Before then, this is what his stick looked like:
The change seems to have helped the 22-year-old and it's nice to see him contributing in the NHL again with New York because it's obvious Ho-Sang has a ton of talent.
