Skating Tips

* To protect skaters from cold temperatures and injury from skate blades and rough ice in the event of falling, hats and gloves or mittens should be worn.
* Skates should be 1/2 to 1 size smaller than the skater's street-shoe size. Skaters should wear one pair of THIN socks or tights for maximum support. A skate should be unlaced before being put on, and then tightly relaced. If a skater's heel lifts up and down or there is inadequate ankle support, a smaller ice skate should be worn. If toes feel cramped in the skate boot, a larger size should be worn.
