Me ( 290lb me) and the kids were looking for something to do and went to a Friday Night Public Session, that's what you call it in the ice rink business when anyone can show up.
I went on the ice about 5-6 times, 5 minutes at a time (that's how long it took me to get around) and complained about the people skating like "idiots" through the crowd.
I signed the kids up for lessons, and they had adult lessons, so I did it too. In about 8-16 weeks we were the idiots!

Since then my daughter gave up skating but my son and I play hockey quite frequently.
