Default Hockey Skates question

I have worn goalie skates all my life and have gotten quite use to them.
However, I have been advised that if I want to persue some officiating, I will need to acquire regular hockey skates.
Here's the problem, I havent worn a pair of regular hockey skates for 10-15 years. And even then, I only wore them for an hour. I had so much of a hard time with balance on them, I felt like a newbie skater.
So, having said that, I am asking the CP faithful to share some of your thoughts and ideas on hockey skates and their fit.
I need to find a pair of skates that dont have too much of a rise from toe to heel. I find that with regular skates I am leaning forward too much. I would prefer something "flatter" like my goalie skates.
One recommendation I had was the CCM Vector V10 Skates....
I would also need something that was a little bit flatter in the blade.
can the CP faithful make some suggestion as to what regular skates may fit more like goalie skates?
thanks
