No real hard and fast rules here obviously. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. Have fun out there.
For skates definatley depends on how well you blades keep their edges. Cheap skates I would sharpen every 3-4 ice times, nice one's that can keep their edges maybe once every 5-10 ice times.

For stick....i agree every game is the way to go.
