You need players with speed and athleticism. You need some players who are tall and can shoot the ball well. You need fast players who can pass the ball well.

A good off ice workout regimen for hockey is to find a gym that trains hockey players. If you live in an area where this is unavailable there are many books you could buy or rent at the library that would teach you this.

Off the ice, hockey players must work on the strength in their legs and core. They should be lifting weights and running a lot to stay in great cardiovascular shape as well.
