What do you mean "sport"? It's called commuting.
We only get a couple of days per year when there's enough ice but not yet much snow. On those days, riding on sea ice is great if somewhat unnerving. You also have to look out for long distance skaters. After that snow starts to pile up on ice and it's XC skiing time.
