The ice skating was me and 3 other students being trained by the hockey coach on skates that he had sharpened before every class and on ice that had just been smoothed by the Zamboni. It was awesome to have the full sized rink for just the 5 of us.

As a kid, I had just skated on the frozen pond near our house. Ripply ice with reeds sticking through.
Yeah, that's why i like the Wednesday morning class -only about half a dozen of us on fresh ice. Ooh that reminds me, i think my skates need sharpening...

I totally want to skate on a pond, not done it yet.... but I'd need a different pair of skates.
