Just check your full body posture and get it corrected as we don't walk with just our knee as a single joint moving, but we move as a whole. Therefore we need to check neighbouring joints and their Strength training enough, so that knee do not go for overweight bearing. Each person and his Strength is different, proper examination and treating body as a whole is worth. Don't just mingle around MCL; being a hockey player, core strength is equally important. You can check it by standing on one leg, if your foot shivers that is the cause.
Next Steps

Mcl tears have good rate of recovery depending on the grade of tear clinically. Best treatment is a combination of relative rest period with brace and protective exercises. Since you are a hockey player supervised treatment is necessary and nothing other than graded exercise program would benefit you. NO ultrasound treatment, it has NO EFFECT
Next Steps
Get yourself evaluated first do see the extent of injury as delaying might be detrimental.
Health Tips
Use a brace and avoid straightening your knee completely before evaluation
