December 14: I see that you've started playing hockey, and I'm intrigued (I've never played except for floor hockey in school and spontaneous road hockey/frozen river hockey/friends' backyard rink hockey). I've known how to skate since before I can remember, but I've never skated on hockey skates (all the spontaneous hockey has involved me in figure skates). I would love to hear about you learning to skate, or if you already knew how, about learning to skate in hockey skates!
