For your goals you'd need to gain another 15 pounds. That is going to make you pretty heavy for a 5'10" hockey player. Something to think about. Plus, do something that will make your strong for your sport, not strong for weightlifting, since the sport is your goal.

I'm not trying to discourage you from lifting weights, but even a GPP program like CrossFit would up your strength, and you'd maintain a great weight for your sport. Also, your nutrition plays a huge factor in all of this, so I hope it is up to par.
