In the last few years that I've been playing hockey, I've taken the clear tape off of my shin pads and and the tape off my stick and added it to a tape ball. Other guys on my team also added their tape. The first ball we made had the misfortune of falling into a toilet. . . and that was the end of it. But we did not give up! No. We started a new tape ball. This one grew and grew. The ball currently weighs 3.5 kg and has a circumference of 67 cm.
A new roll of hockey tape weighs approximately 71 g. This means that the ball contains around 49 rolls of tape. An average roll of tape costs $2.99. Multiply that by 49 and the value of the tape ball equals $146.51 before taxes. Factoring in tax... just kidding. That's enough math for a snow day!
