Re: Taping of the fingers...is this legal?

What about that black cloth (sticky/tacky) tape I used to wrap around my hockey stick when I played hockey? ...used to wrap it around my racket ball racket as well....you won't need gloves to hold onto that.

I burned the heck out of my thumb last week…had a big blister on it (thumbpad) for 2 days before I popped it…I’ve since been taping it up with duct tape before I play…I noticed today that since I tear a thin strip of tape off the roll and then wrap the thumb hockey stick style so that two edges of the wrap are exposed on the thumbpad, the edges wear a bit and become quite sticky…an unintentional swing aid of sorts…is this legal or do I have to wrap it in a way that doesn’t improve my hold on the club (dip it in salad oil)…but in the same way a golf glove improves grip but is legal…it’s feeling so good I was thinking about taping the rest of the fingers…
