Hey, I suggest you pick up some gear if you plan on playing any sort of hockey. Cause it'll get you out of that mental fear of falling state and you'll push yourself to certain limits. It will be an easier transition skating with gear now than learning all over again when all that gear in restricting certain movements.
Just work on your skating whenever you can, there isn't a shortcut to being a better skater, its all about practice. Youtube works wonders on techniques and such, but adult skating lessons are offered through the Vancouver Parks Board rinks. They teach beginner, intermediate, and advance. Sometimes you'll get lucky and just have yourself in the class and have personal instruction.
Best of luck.
