The problem with most point and shoot cameras is the shutter lag, which can cause you to miss pictures. If you're going to stick with a p&s, make sure it has a burst mode--it really helps with action shots. The other problem you'll run into is that hockey rinks don't have the greatest lighting conditions for taking pics with a p&s. A digital SLR is much better suited for shooting sports photos, but are expensive. You might want to search something like ebay to see if you can find a used dSLR and lens.

Sorry, but if you want to take action shots of a fast game like hockey, you're going to have to spend more than $500. In order to freeze the action, you need a shutter speed of 1/500th of a second or better, and for that, you'll need a lens that lets in lots of light, and you just can't get that with a cheap point and shoot camera, especially if you want to zoom in on the action as well. There's a reason why professional sports photographers spend a couple of grand on a camera body plus a few times that much for the lens.
