Anywhere from 325 to 1,294 per hour according to

depending on your weight and how vigorously you skate.
For 90 minutes I would increase the numbers in the chart by 50% which is not totally accurate, but it is probably close enough for an estimation.

Around 400-500, since ice skating is very good exercise.
I'd doubt that you'd burn that much, though, since you are underweight your body has probably trained itself to burn only a small amount of calories because it thinks you are starving. You might even build muscle while ice skating and gain a little weight!
If you're concerned, eat some extra fat and protien in healthy forms, such as nuts and olive oil, that day.
Have fun skating!
