Is it better to wear a Spandex ACE brace or sports tape in a skate?

You probably remember (sorry! haha) that about a week ago I sprained my ankle on the ice. My ankle has healed up fast, and I'm thinking about getting back on the ice fairly soon. What do you recommend for wrapping up my ankle in? Right now I'm wearing one of the white spandex ACE braces (which my doctor recommended) just whenever I need to do extensive walking or if my ankle is bugging me. I like it because it's supportive, but I'm not sure how it will work out in a skate. I'm concerned that maybe it wouldn't really fit in there and/or would irritate my foot? So I bought some Johnson and Johnson "COACH" sports tape. Would that be better? It's not as supportive as the brace...right? But it would better work within the skates?

If it remotely matters, I have Graf Edmontons and am about FS 5.
