You will continue in a straight line (path) with a constant velocity unless acted on by a non-zero net force.

So, if you pushed off one end an slid forward you would continue to slide forward until an force brought you to rest.

This force could be supplied by the other end of the rink or by the friction between your skates and the ice (even though generally ice skating involves minimal friction).
