Hockey Tape
Great for a stocking stuffer, kids love getting cool colors and designs to tape their sticks with. Available at all hockey stores and many non hockey stores like Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire.

Adults
Sharpening Gift Cards
There's nothing better than a good sharpening. Unfortunately the cost of good sharpenings add up, so sharpening gift cards are greatly appreciated.
Foam Rollers
While foam rollers aren't exactly fun or sexy, they are useful. They've been adopted by pretty much every sport and athlete and help to alleviate soreness and tightness and thus hopefully decrease inury. Available at any sports of fitness stores and many large box stores.
If you are feeling extra generous, the Vyper, a vibrating foam roller is one of the hottest new fitness items and is available at Sportchek for $300.
Hockey boots
For those that feel more comfortable in skates than shoes.
Limited supply online at Bari Boots.
