Well i have been working extremely hard this summer doing on ice camps to prepare me for tryouts in November for the jv team. I came close to making it last year but dint. What are some good drills to be doing of ice, i have a net in my garage with the board of synthetic ice to shoot of off and stick handling balls. what are some good drills?
Ya so like drills i can do at home to improve on when i get on the ice. its called dryland here
-lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, etc..
-work on your core: a strong core will give you a harder shot
-plyometrics
-work on your stick-handling using these drills: http://www.usahockey.com/Template_Usahockey.aspx?NAV=CO&id=19434
-work on your shot everyday by shooting in your garage (wrist, slap, snap, backhand, etc..)
-run to work on your endurance so you last during the third period
-stretching is also very important! work on your flexability to prevent injury. a good way to do this is always stretch after you workout and 10 minutes every night before you go to bed.

plyometrics and core work are both excellent, and since hockey is a "power sport" try doing excercises to improve on your explosiveness. for example when weight training go for high weight low rep to improve your power
