My 6 year old son plays ice hockey, and I want to learn to skate so I can free skate with him. I started lessons but had to take the next session because I had a really hard time out there on those awful rental skates. They are really dull and I couldn't use my edges. I have purchased a really nice pair of skates and now I'm ready. I appreciate the extra encouragement I have read here. I hope I lose weight and get some muscles too! Thank you for this article.

I have been putting off getting back on the ice for a while because I'm not as thin as I was when I competed. Now I will at least get back out there at a public session or two. :-) Thank you for writing this.
