Subject: first aid or emergency repair kit

Our team is attending it's first tournament at the end of the month and
teams that I have previous played with always had a first aid/emergency
repair kit carried by the trainer.  Does any one have a good source that
lists things that should be in something like this?  We don't really have a
huge team budget so I didn't want to purchase one of those fancy models as I
thought I might be cheaper to assemble my own.

Thanks,

When I have limited ice-time, what are some good dry-land ways to practice shooting, puck handling, etc.?  Should I get roller-blades?  What about some relatively quiet and non-destructive ways?

Thanks.

One very  good way of practicing stickhandling is very easy and quit(at 
first).

Take a golf, tennis, racket, or hockey ball. Begin moving it back and forth 
on carpet at first as if you were moving down the ice. You can do this while 
watching TV, or whenever you decide to any down time you might have. As you 
get better you can stop looking at the ball and just use the feel and sixth 
senses that you have obtained. Once you can handle it without looking move to 
a harder surface (i.e. "GET OFF THE RUG"<~~~~quote from my mom) It may take 
some time to get used to the harder surface and in this case I usually 
recomend a softer ball (I can't repeat the quote mom gave me for this one 
when I used the golf ball).

I hope this works well for you. It did a good job for me and most of the 
players I've coached!
One other thing to remember for anyone who plays, and this is the single most 
important thing of all in my opinion! ALWAYS try to stretch out every day! If 
you do this you are less likely to get hurt than if you only stretch before 
and after a game or practice. If you are not sure what kind of stretching to 
do, I suggest talking to a sensei or Karate instructor. NOT YOGA OR AEROBICS 
STRETCHING! These may help and they are not bad forms but martial arts is one 
of the few technics that use every muscle just like hockey.
