My hockey shooting experience is similar to the conditions you describe
below.
Shooting at f/2.8 at 1600 ASA, about the best speed I can get is 1/250.
This is about two stops overexposure of just the floor surface itself. I
set my (D30) camera on manual, set the just mentioned settings (70-200 mm
f/2.8L lens), and then fix the images in Photoshop. Typically the player
uniforms are properly exposed, but adjustment is needed for good facial
exposures.
I find a speed of 1/250 is barely adequate - I lose a lot of shots that just
aren't in focus enough.
Best regards,
Bill Neukranz

When I shoot ice hockey, the arena where I usually shoot has uneven
lighting, but overall, it's a bit too dark for ideal conditions, i.e.,
shooting at exposure speed of 1/250 second even with my f4 and 800 speed
film. I tried pushing 800 film to 1600 last season, which cost $17 to
develop and print 24 exposures, and the resulting photos were AWFUL.
