Get to the outdoor rink and gear up for next season.

Talk to the Girls HS coach now about this and ask them what you should do to prepare for next season.

				Total Hockey (Hudson, Eagan & Minnetonka) and the new Herb Brooks Training Center (Super Rink) run great skill programs that could be of real help if you are already a great skater.

Agreed - and also there is a ton of stickhandling/shooting stuff that you can do off-ice or at the pond/outdoor rink as this may be the area needing the most work if you've skated but not played for a while.  The skating will come (and is most important - as if you can't skate, you can't play well, etc.), but hands/shooting important too...
