    Blade guards
    Blade covers(soakers)
    Gloves
    Tights
    Absorbant cloth to wipe your blades after use so that they don’t rust.
    Legwarmers
    etc.
    maybe you could ask around your rink to see what other accesories the skaters there have.
    i prefer skating in indoor rinks as i feel that the ice is much smoother but that is just a personal preferance.
    have fun skating!

    Ok, here’s a list of things not including skating apparel you could buy to help you enjoy skating! And I had all of it in my bag at one time!

    Leather conditioner for your skate boots
    Sno Seal for the leather sole on your skates
    Blade guards
    Blade covers – terry cloth
    Boot covers if you scratch up your skates a lot
    Small towel or chamois cloth to dry your blades
    Terry cloth bags to store your skates in
    Stone to de burr your blades
    Screw driver to tighten your blades if they get loose
    Ipod or CD’s with your skate music (to play over the rink’s stereo system – my rink has one in the penalty box at all 4 rinks to play program music)
    Lip balm
    Hand sanitizer
    Extra tights or knee hi’s
    Knit gloves and an extra pair
    Hair bands
    Eye drops if your eyes get dry from the cold air
    jump rope for conditioning
    ISI handbooks or USFSA rule book
    Notebook and pens
    camcorder (coaches allowed to hold on ice)
    camera

    There you go! Have fun!

    well it depends on your budget. i would say:
    guards (hard for walking around in)
    guards (soft for storing)
    tights
    skirt/pants/dress
    boot covers
    gloves
    leg warmers
    hat
    PS-most ice rinks will not let you use your ipod or phone on the ice
    have fun
