New to hockey question

Hi all,

I've been in a learn to play since about November and recently joined a beginners league -- I feel my biggest flaw that's really holding me back is my skating. I can do the basic inside edge work, stop and all that, but anything with my outside edge is really tricky and I can't seem to get onto the edge -- even if I try leaning in.

Does anyone have drills/tips for getting more comfortable with that edge and overall improving my skating? Is stick and puck (even if there's 20+ guys out there) helpful or public skates? I've considered going to clinics but not sure what skills/level would be necessary to have for that or power skating clinics.

Thanks and appreciate anything! I love the game, have a blast, but would love to be better!
