Keep your stick on the ice
The most basic and important piece of advice in hockey (and maybe even in life).
Also possibly the most repeated advice from coaches, often screamed in frustration when some knob misses an easy tip into a wide open net because his/her stick is nowhere near the ice, or the goalie lets in a soft five-hole goal for the same reason.
The meaning is twofold:
First, be ready for anything. Hockey is fast and the difference in a one-goal game could be the result of your stick placement (applies to everyone, goalies included).
Second, chill out; keep it simple. It can be easy to over-complicate things and to try too hard when you get into a slump. Don’t over-think it; just keep your stick on the ice and things will work themselves out.

Phil Kessel: I haven’t scored a goal in like 52 games. I’m never gonna get out of this slump.
Ryan Smyth: Dude, you’re probably right, but don’t over-complicate things… Just keep your stick on the ice.

Red Green: On behalf of myself and Harold and the whole gang up here at Possum Lodge, keep your stick on the ice.

hockey on the ice
An older synonym for the sport of bandy, but since it may be misinterpreted as meaning ice hockey it is not very much used nowadays.
In the 19th Century, hockey on the ice was played in the Fens in England. It has since developed into the modern sport of bandy.

Too Many Men On The Ice
A party foul commited by a friend/acquaintence in which he/she takes you to a bar/party with an unacceptable male to female ratio, a.k.a. sausagefest. A TMMOTI penalty requires the offender to get the offended a drink of their choice and gives the offended the option of immediate extraction. The drink can be deferred until the next destination.
When we got to the bar, I noticed it was a total sausagefest. I called Tom for a Too Many Men On The Ice penalty. Due to the extremity of the ratio, I chose to leave immediately and wait til the next bar for him to buy me a shot.
