Is there a free or cost friendly way I could get a little faster and get my legs a little stronger. I want to be a better skater overall, I think it could help my game tremendously. Thanks!

Cost friendly? Besides ice time I don't think there will be any costs associated with training.
To get faster on the ice you need to improve your leg and core strength. I don't know what kind of shape you are in but if you are overweight then of course losing extra weight will help your speed.
But the best thing you can do is to work on your leg strength. Do plyometrics, lunges, squats (or even better power cleans, deadlifts, etc) and also start sprinting as well. Don't forget your core strength as it is surprisingly important in regards to speed. So work your stomach and lower back.
