I never played hockey, but I went the other way.
When Kayleigh started skating I bought some Graf f-10's, trying to re-capture my boyhood days I guess.
But after a while I realised that I wanted to do more than just skate around so purchased some Graf 500 figure skates.
These wore out and I'm now in Jackson Freestyles in which I have done many Skate UK grades ans some bits from Bronze dance. I did have a part in our local ice production too.
Good luck with the hockey. As someone once said to me, figure skating is difficult, but hockey is hard!
