Hockey stick blade covering

Abstract

A covering for a hockey stick blade wherein the covering includes a body that is mateably shaped with the blade of a hockey stick and is configured to be adhered thereto. The body further includes at least one aperture formed therein wherein the aperture is formed completely through the body so as to expose the bare surface of the hockey stick blade. The aperture is further provided in various alternate designs, shapes and sizes. The body of the present invention includes a first side and a second side wherein the first side includes an adhesive disposed thereon and is configured to be applied to a surface of the hockey stick blade. The second side of the body is distal to the hockey stick blade and has a wax impregnated thereinto wherein the wax provides an increased coefficient of friction engagement with a hockey puck for more control thereof.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hockey stick blade covering that is configured to be applied to opposing sides of a hockey stick blade wherein the hockey stick blade covering comprises:
 a body, said body being planar in manner, said body having a first side and a second side, said first side having an adhesive disposed thereon, said body having a lower edge, an outer edge, an inside edge and an upper edge defining a shape for said body that is mateably shaped to a hockey stick blade, said second side being distal to a surface of the hockey stick blade ensuing adherence of the hockey stick blade covering;   at least one aperture, said at least one aperture being formed completely through said body, said at least one aperture providing exposure of the surface of the hockey stick in a defined location.   
     
     
         2 . The hockey stick blade covering that is configured to be applied to opposing sides of a hockey stick blade as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one aperture is provided in alternate shapes and styles. 
     
     
         3 . The hockey stick blade covering that is configured to be applied to opposing sides of a hockey stick blade as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the body is manufactured from a plastic film. 
     
     
         4 . The hockey stick blade covering that is configured to be applied to opposing sides of a hockey stick blade as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the adhesive on the first side of the body is a pressure sensitive adhesive. 
     
     
         5 . The hockey stick blade covering that is configured to be applied to opposing sides of a hockey stick blade as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said second side of said body has a wax impregnated thereinto.
