Lots of knee bend to help you spring upwards. Also speed into the jump usually results in bigger and faster jumps.

Also, off-ice plyometrics can increase the explosive power you have in your jumps. I think Skate@Delaware does plyometrics fairly regularly and might have ideas for exercises (correct me if I'm wrong)....
