Absolutely, you can skate on your hockey skates before you bake them. In fact, depending on how the boot fits, it's actually recommended.
What baking actually does is cause accelerated breakdown of the boot. It heats all the bindings and seams of the boot so that that it can expand and form to your foot allowing for a more comfortable fit. If, when you first put the boot on, you have slightly painful pressure-points or tightness on your foot, then baking is the best way to relieve or remove these problems. If, on the other hand, the boot feels good when you first put it on, then baking isn't necessary or required. It is actually better to let the boot breakdown naturally through use.

Why are ice skates different than the other kinds of skates?
Ice skates are different because they have blades on them and they are designed differently than per Se roller skates. Roller skates have more padding and have wheels on them, while figure skates have blades on them. If one wanted to compare a figure skate to a hockey skate, for example, a hockey skate does not have toe-picks while a figure skate does. Hope this helps :)
What is the difference between hockey skates and figure skates?
Figure skate blades are thicker, and the balance point is at the back, with more blade extending past the heel compared to hockey skates. They also have toe picks, to help with jumps and other maneuvers for figure skating. Figure skates are also "rockered" differently, meaning the blade curves differently, so turning is different in figure skates compared to hockey skates, as the balance is different. Figure skate blades are thicker, too, so they can be faster, as you have more blade contact to push off of. Hockey skates have no toe picks, as with toe picks, if you accidentally drag your foot or put it too far forward on the ice, you can fall. Also, hockey skates are balanced more neutrally, in the middle of the skate, which helps with recovering balance during the fast maneuvering and contact in the game. Hockey skates have thinner blades, so compared to figure skates, you're going to apply less power to the ice, but they glide a little bit easier than figure skates. Also, compared to figure skates, hockey skates have much tougher construction, as they have to be able to take pucks/sticks, etc.
