Squats are GREAT for skating, when you skate your power comes from your gleutes, hamstrings, and quads... squats hit all three (and stabilizer muscles in your back and abs). I'm down here in Texas atm but used to live in Canada. Weighted Lunges (lunges with the squatbar and weight) are great too but are borderline dangerous (as in dont go over 135 for safety's sake). Do lots of crunches, but do as many cross-crunches (elbow to knee) as you can. These help you take and give hits, and are muscles that are hard to work out any other way. All the standard workouts help, bench-press, pullups, triscep extention, etc.
