To add to what flip said...you won't get anything for 100 bucks. Well, you will, but you may as well be strapping a couple pieces of plywood onto your feet.
I know the Sport Trader in Crowfoot Crossing had a bunch of skates on for 50 percent off before Christmas...haven't been by there in a while but they'd be a decent place to check out.
It's tough to recommend skates to people, as all the boots fit a bit differently. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Bauer skate due to the fact they're way to narrow for my foot, but then other people hate Easton's. I wouldn't recommend Reebok's to anyone, but that's because I just hate the way they've got a lace lock system. Just not a fan of that. Grafs are heavier, but are pretty high quality and therefore more expensive. You'd be in tough to find any Graf in your price range.
At the lower end, all the skates will perform pretty well the exact same so just go in to a hockey store and try stuff on until you find something that fits your foot.
