My AB Workout consists of 3 basic exercises. These exercises work on the 3 abdominal groups, worked out in the correct order to get maximum results.
1. Leg raises (Rectus Abdominis)
2. Side Crunches ( External/Internal Obliques)
3. Straight Crunches (Transverse Abdominis)
Here is how it works. You want to get up to where you are doing 3 sets of 25 reps for each exercise. But start with one set of 15, then 20, then 25. Then start with 2 sets of each, then finally 3 sets. Only allowing a 30 to 45 second break between sets.
1. Lye flat on a mat, with your hands placed at your lower back, close to your butt. Now with your legs bent slightly, and toes pointed away from your body, with legs together, lift your legs up 6 inches off the ground. Each rep consists of lifting your legs from 6 inches to 12 inches. You cannot put your legs on the ground till the set is done. Go between 6 inches, to 12 inches, and back. Each time you reach the 6 inch mark, count one rep. Each movement should be one second. One second up, one second down.
2. Lye with your back flat on the mat, your legs should be bent so that your feet are flat on the mat, about shoulder width apart. Your hands should not be behind your head, but place them under your opposite armpits, or chest. Now you curl up, not lifting your lower back off the mat, (these are crunches, not situps) Your rep consists of curling your right elbow towards your left knee, and then the other side. You do not touch your knee. One second up, one second, down. One second other side, one second down. A rep consists of both sides being done. So your rep is done when you have moved up, and down, on each side. (This one you will notice right away)
3. Lye the same way as in number 2 above, with the hands in the same position. Now this one you just curl straight up, hold for a second, then back down. Do not jerk yourself up, Curl yourself up. Each rep consists of one up, and one down. Each time you are on the mat with your back, counts as one rep.
NOTE: You can do abs every day. But I find if I rest one day a week, I reward myself for sticking with it.
GOOD LUCK, and enjoy your SIX PACK.

Yoga is great for toning up, becoming more flexible and the added benefits of stress relief through meditation. I've been doing yoga for years and you really see the difference in toned up stomach muscles.
I'd advise start with a local class to get used to the postures etc, but yoga can easily be done at home, you only need comfortable clothes and a mat/blanket as your "exercise area"

For hockey you need good strong leg muscles as well and I found the perfect tool for working on legs,hips,bum.thighs and stomache also upper arms in general all over toning and have lost inches and it is a step twister. You can buy them from most good sports shops or argos for about thirty pounds plus depending on which one you have. They are not very big would go perfect in a bedroom as mine is and also fun to use. I put my fav music on to one CD and comfy clothes/trainers and i am away. I always warm up for ten mins first with streches ect and when finished warm down.
There are lots of good ideas already mentioned just thought a small biy of equipment also may be the key it was for me as i had brought it and was going to use it.

you have good answers for improving the stomach but lunges and squats are good for leg muscles. using weights in your hands is supposed to help you can do all sorts of squats too like against a wall or free standing. i started doing these a week or so ago and have really started to tone my thighs already!!!

Noriega wrote a book about how to stay fit in solitary confinement in prison. It would be ideal for you.
