Yep.. Run stairs...

Another thing to do is put a bench up against a wall, With both feet jump up on the bench and then as fast as you can with both feet jump down.. Challenge yourself on how many times you can do it per minute..This specific exercise we did during my college hockey workouts..

Also, look into box drills for football, they work great for hockey as well..

Then obviously do your normal road work, running, stairmaster, bike, jump rope, eliptical, rowing, it all helps.. Also try doing alot of repititions on body weight exercises: dips, squats, pullups, pushups and situps
