New Skates (begginer)

[ncbrock 0]

Well Im done with roller hockey. The program sucks around here, Ive played travel every year ive played hockey and this year theres no team for me. So im just gona skip roller all together and go to ice. ice has a good program down here.

Anyways. What do you recommend for a skate? I have no way of trying anything on so thats not an option. In a roller skate, i loved the rbk roller skate, as it was the most comfortable skate. It needs to be a comfortable skate (but mi not looking for too much in the $150 range) Boot width doesnt really bother me, i usually just learn to like it. I need something that is comfortable around the ankles specifically, and has good ankle support ( i liked the rbk inline skates cuz of the pump ).

I have ZERO experiance on ice skates nor have I ever tried any on so I have no idea what is good and whats not.

I'd look into spending $200 and getting a decent pair, especially for ice hockey

a glock if you're going to that rink in the mall.

If you like the fit of your RBKs, just get a similar pair of the ice boots in the same size and you should be fine.

ive never tried the non pump rbk's though. So im not sure how those would compare. maybe i can check ebay or some clearance items if they have last years pump's on sale
