Does anyone have any tips on things I can do in the gym that will help me get faster, and stronger on my skates?

squats, squats, and more squats. Follow those up with some wall sits, lunges, and ladder work.

I wrote that article and program. It has since been modified to closely resemble Joe DeFranco's Westside for Skinny Bastards program, which is a very good combination of conjugated periodization for strength with some repetition method thrown in.

Just a reminder that rest is a vital part of weight training. You grow muscle when resting. Train day 1, practice day 2, train day 3 is not the best and can affect your training and playing performance. If you can't train, rest, then practice, scale down your in season efforts.

Absolutely. A two-day a week in-season program is for maintenance. You shouldn't be going to failure so you CNS isn't being stressed like a max effort day in the off-season. Upper body maintenance can be done on the same day as practice. So could lower body day if you happen to have a "systems day" during the week where practice is low intensity. That will give you enough days to rest.

This a link to Coach Blatherwick's entitled "Overspeed Skill Training for Hockey.

It is not that big, and I don't think it will give you a lot of exercise, but I would say it is a grate book, that will give you very good idea about a direction you should go.
