Obviously something is always better than nothing. Not too hot on advice vis a vis hockey but I can speak for cycling (particularly off road, which I find works the upper body a lot too, so I guess there's some good overlap with hockey). Every morning I do about an hour of cyclocross - that's 80% me riding the bike, 20% the bike riding me as I lug it up hills and stuff. This is a great HIIT workout which you should consider having a go at - seeing as reaching your top cardio capability on a bike involves going very very fast whilst being very very tired, I figured I'd stop tempting fate and come up with an alternative way of reaching my VO2 max. Carrying the bike also has some core workout benefits and develops balance.
