Get one of those "smart hockey" balls to practice around the house, they have the same weight as a puck so you develop a good feel for it. dont just dribble in a stationary position either, always try to keep moving while stickhandling, just try dribbling everything around the house, like a sock on the floor, through someone walking by or whatever.
Also note that when you do switch to ice/roller hockey, you will be another 1.5 inches off the ground so your stick will feel even shorter...so practice in some high heels and improve your balance at the same time =)
when you get more advanced, get a cheap balance/wobble board and stick handle at the same time, it will do wonders for your core and balance which are essential to ice hockey.
