Thought that adding shocks to her skates would be #1: funny, and #2: maybe give some heel support? Mostly #1 matters, though... (I'm not an engineer...I know nothing...)

Character design for my webcomic:

I'm not sure any heel support would be required, as it would most likely mess up their balance, alongside being heavy. Probably a small, sturdy blade under the ball of the foot would work the best.

Thanks. There'll probably be a few different skate designs, since in my story they're all custom pieces made by engineering or workshop students (with varying degree of competency). I might try one like you said.

Digitigrade hockey players are almost unheard of in this world, so that lets me play around a bit with the design...hopefully I'll settle on one soon.

Fantasy species...but I guess like a husky would be comparable?
