I practice doing stickhandleing, wristing shots, slapping and snapping shots, and deking. I practice stickhandleing without looking at the puck to develop how to make more acurate passing and have more puck control. Get a mirror and put it in the end of a hall way stand back and look at the mirror and stickhandle away looking at the mirror. After you master this take the mirror away. Practice your stickhandleing around people in tight areas by putting 2 pucks in the drive way a little bit apart and stick handle in a figure 8 between them. Then put them closer together... For wrist shots practice your aiming without looking at the puck and also stickhandleing up to the goal and deking and then wristing a shot...repeat with snap shots and slap shots... Work out also. I lift weights and do situps. Go to hockey camps that do off ice training. Have fun doing this stuff!

The Soviets used soccer extensively. It has the same individual creativity and team play, and the same fitness level is required. It's also flexible, playable on a field or in a gym, and it does wonders for foot-eye coordination. Ever see Sergei Fedorov's kick-passes and foot-to-stick moves that drove opponents crazy?
Or think about the entire Red Wings titles in the late 1990s. The Russians brought soccer with them and influenced the whole team. Remember Darren McCarty's goal in game four? You'll never see a goon score a prettier goal than that.

Depends. Do you tend to bulk up with weight training? If so, you might want to consider cardio training. If you're a smaller player or need more strength - here's a good story about Daniel Briere - http://www.hugogirard.com/english/06-05-02nhlcom.shtml. Core training is always good - ab strength, lower back strength, balance
