i started out playing roller but now i play AAA ice. the best thing to do is just get out there. maybe tie your skates tighter? the more you get on the ice the more comfortable you'll feel

So what are you actually asking?

Not trying to be harsh....

Are you asking for tips on what will make it easier?

I play both roller and ice....as I'm sure you'll find a lot of people on this board do.

On ice, sounds like you need stiffer skates or really need to tighten those laces up at the top.

Other than that...you'll just need time to adjust.

I use bauer supreme 6000's , I think its stiff enough

Do you have a good sharpner in the area? It sounds like either you have uneven edges or you may have a shallow that is not deep enough for you. Also examine your skates, you may have roaled edges.

I get em sharpened by these young kid at my shop, maybe 20

I'm not sure how experienced he is

Skateshot25, I experienced something similar when I first started playing Ice, I determined it to be the sharpening, because once I started getting my steel sharpened by someone compitent, the problems went away. Aside from that, just skate on ice as much as you can. Pick ups, puck play, whatever.
