• Answer:

  If it's just off-ice work, like jumping around and spinning, try a pair of tennis shoes. There's no need to skate around. You can do dry land jumps and use a spinner for spins. Other than that, you don't need to buy anything special. There's a million choices out there, but there's nothing better than the basics. Some places even have off ice classes and you can get a private coach. As your current coach and they'll tell you somethings you can do.
