It sounds like you haven't been introduced to "plyometrics" yet. When done correctly, those are the best things you can do to prepare your body for hockey. If you do a web search for plyometrics you'll find lots of information.

A guy by the name of Peter Twist is well known in this area as he's worked with many NHL (and NBA) players.

He has lots of videos:

And a well known book called "Complete Conditioning for Ice Hockey"

(He actually has an updated version of the book so don't let the old uniform on the cover fool you.)

Good luck,
