Just bought my first pair of skates after a couple months of renting!
Now that I'll need to transport them safely to and from practice and care for them off the ice, I was wondering what your best tips were?
I've read several articles online about boot & blade care, but wanted to see what your best tips & tricks were that I may not have come across.
I'm also not sure what gear I need to buy. It looks like I can use any bag to carry them (I'm thinking I'll use a gym tote). But in terms of new items I need to buy to start, it seems hard blade guards and soft blade "soakers" (I forget what the name is for these) would be a good investment.
So — what's in your gear bag? What should be in a beginner's gear bag? What should that bag be like?
