For 4 days of the week you will do your average routine, then on one very special day- run two miles, sprint 6 sets of two yards, there should be about a 35 second rest. Next sprint 6 sets of 40, a minute rest, then continue this until you get to 80 yards. After this set up 10 cones in a line about 2 feet apart. Try to high jump(bring your knees to your waist) and do about 30 sets of these. Now have fun walking away really sore.
did those + more for ice hockey... i love the jelly legs feeling afterwards

most of my fitness these days comes from hill running/stair work

and of course alot of plyometrics for hockey
