I have a Nikon D80 digital SLR with a Nikkor 80-200mm F2.8 lens. Any advice for camera settings and such to get some good quality indoor Hockey shots?

Well lets look at the old FotoSharp (fotosharp.com) "Day & Night Exposure Guide" and see what it suggests. Looking at Scene # 8: Indoor sports, circus - floodlit we find:
Using ISO 3200
f2.8 @ 1/500
f4 @ 1/250
f5.6 @ 1/125
Using ISO 1600
f2.8 @ 1/250
f4 @ 1/125
f5.6 @ 1/60
Using ISO 800
f2.8 @ 1/125
f4 @ 1/60
f5.6 @ 1/30
The question now is this: Is your 2.8 lens a "constant aperture" from 80mm to 200mm or is there a second f-stop associated with the 200mm length? If so, you'll have to be guided by it in choosing your ISO. If its a 2.8 from 80-200mm then you should be able to do fairly well at ISO 1600. Just turn on the Noise Reduction and have at it.
Note: Your actual conditions may vary so I'd suggest shooting in Shutter Priority and watching what f-stop the camera selects. Of course you could always just go to ISO 3200.
