You can have your inline chassis replaced with an ice blade and housing kit. The full cost in labor and parts should run you between $50-$100 depending on the blade you go with.
I'd go with the Tuuk blade and holder if I were you. It's a solid design, pretty durable and every pro shop will have replacement parts for them.

Just take them to a skate shop. If you don't already have the ice chassis you will have to buy some from the shop. I have extras in my garage. The shop should be able to take the roller chassis off and mount the ice chassis. It shouldn't cost you more than $30. I just had this done in reverse (ice to roller). It will feel weird at first but give it a couple of games and you will adapt.
I actually loved the CCM ice skates that I owned so much that I bought a second pair and mounted a roller chassis on them. I could play an ice game, then drive to my roller game a couple of hours later and play both with no problems.
If you need a large ice chassis I have extra CCM for free that I can ship to you if you want to pay for shipping. My skate size is 10D. E-Mail me at duncaninvestigations@yahoo.com

relies upon... Are you a newbie? maximum novices imagine figure skates are a lot less puzzling, by and large because they have extremely flat blades even as hockey skates have visibly curved blades. The flat blade signifies that you may want to rigidity a touch a lot less about falling on your butt (or your head) via by coincidence leaning decrease back or putting too a lot rigidity on your heels. That suggested, although, in case you're you able to will be intending to continually save your knees a touch bent (it truly is the desirable thanks to skate on both style of skate besides) you'd be in a position to stay away from a foul backwards spill, and then a minimum of in words of leases a hockey skate is possibly a higher selection. it really is because you're going to make certain a great number of ankle help, and house figure skates are frequently undesirable to the point of floppy (if the accurate of the skate flops over without a foot in it, it has undesirable ankle help!). in case you're not any more a newbie, then there extremely isn't any "a lot less puzzling" skate, and your selection relies upon frequently on what you're in contact in doing. also... the toepick (pointy bit at the front of a figure skate) is quite no longer meant for use as a brake, and in case you take advantage of it as such, you'll make holes and bumpy spots contained in the ice that ought to vacation you up later...

you can do it, but it you do be sure you go to a good pro shop that can mount it properly so that it lines up right and you want be leaning on one side more than the other which is what happened to my skates. be sure you buy either a tuuk or prolite blade holder for ice. also try the new t-blade system holder i hear those are nice and feel really light.

You can do it-but ice hockey boots are very different. Typically ice skates are a lot cheaper anyway.
