I just started playing this season, with games once a week, not sure if I'd benefit much from a higher end skate, but at $90 it piqued my interest.

I currently wear old bottom-of-the-line Bauer "Supreme 2000" skates I found at a consignment store. My skating in general is pretty good; better than a few teammates that have played a season or two already as as I skated before. I find the fit of my current skates not so good, when the laces loosen up a bit through a game it feels like I am skating on mud and all my power is lost. Not sure if it's an issue of just me tying it tighter, or if a nicer/newer skate would help.
