Skate
A metallic runner with a frame shaped to fit the sole of a shoe, -- made to be fastened under the foot, and used for moving rapidly on ice.
To move on skates.
Any one of numerous species of large, flat elasmobranch fishes of the genus Raia, having a long, slender tail, terminated by a small caudal fin. The pectoral fins, which are large and broad and united to the sides of the body and head, give a somewhat rhombic form to these fishes. The skin is more or less spinose.

Skate Quotations
That's another thing, we made up games. We didn't have equipment. When it snowed, we would play slow motion tackle football. We would play hockey, but we wouldn't skate. We just made things up. I loved doing that.
Mike Krzyzewski
I skate about 15 to 20 hours a week and also incorporate a lot of off-ice training. I take ballet and Pilates classes and lift weights with my physical therapist when I'm not on the ice.
Sasha Cohen
I wanted to learn how to skate backwards and they wouldn't help me and they went off and left me on my own.
Dorothy Hamill
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
Wayne Gretzky
I didn't want to skate for someone else or for certain marks.
Kristi Yamaguchi
My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do.
Nancy Kerrigan
There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.
Nancy Kerrigan
Proposals to forbid golf courses have about the same motivations as proposals to forbid skate boarding, although the rationalizations are different.
John McCarthy
People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.
Nancy Kerrigan
I skate now for fun and to keep myself in shape.
Oksana Baiul
