Shifts, bench time and shots on indoor ice - recorded automatically, and saved to Garmin Connect as Ice Hockey. Indoors there is no GPS, so a generic activity gives you a duration and a heart rate curve and little else. Ice Hockey Tracker reads the accelerometer instead: it sees you step on the ice, times the shift, and stops the clock when you sit down on the bench. Nothing to press during the game - it is built for hands in hockey gloves. IN GARMIN CONNECT - The session is saved as Ice Hockey, not as skating or "other" - also on fenix 6, enduro and tactix Delta, which have no hockey activity of their own. - A lap for every shift and every spell on the bench, so the game is broken down shift by shift: how long each one lasted and what your heart rate did. - Ice time, bench time, ice ratio, shots, distance, speed, workload and calories are written into the activity. Up to seven more values of your choice can be added in the app settings. ON THE ICE - Live shift timer, current and last shift, shift count and average shift length - Ice time against bench time - Heart rate: current, average and max, and how far it drops in the first minute on the bench - Shot count and a shot power index - Estimated distance, current and top speed, stops and turns - Calories and a workload score - Time in the defensive, neutral and offensive zone, and a heat map of the rink BETWEEN GAMES - Progress page: each new session compared against your own history - Session timeline and heart rate trend - Summary pages at the end of the activity, then save or discard as in a Garmin activity MAKE IT FIT YOUR GAME - Training, pickup and match modes - Player profiles REC, AM and PRO for how hard you skate - Shot sensitivity: Low, Normal or High, if the app counts too many shots or misses yours - Rink length - GPS on or off. Indoors the app does not need it; outdoors it uses GPS for speed, distance and the heat map. WATCHES AND LANGUAGES More than 60 watches: fenix 6, 7, 8 and 9, epix, enduro, tactix, MARQ (Gen 3), D2 Mach 2, Instinct 3 AMOLED, Forerunner 70 / 170 / 255 / 265 / 570 / 955 / 965 / 970, Venu 3 and 4, vivoactive 5 and 6, Approach S72, S70 and S50. English, Slovak, Czech, German, French, Polish, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Latvian - the app follows the language of the watch. HOW ACCURATE IS IT Time, heart rate, and ice and bench time are the reliable part. Shots, distance, speed, rink zones and the heat map are estimates from wrist motion - useful for comparing your own games, not official statistics. Found something that does not match your game?

# What's New - Version 1.01.050 This update asks for no new permissions, so it installs without you having to confirm anything. Now on the MARQ (Gen 3) - The app can be installed on the MARQ (Gen 3) - Athlete, Adventurer, Aviator, Commander, Golfer and Diver - alongside every watch it already supported. - Nothing about the app itself changed on the watches that already had it: the same shift detection, the same metrics, the same activity in Garmin Connect. # What's New - Version 1.01.049 This update asks for no new permissions, so it installs without you having to confirm anything. Now on ten more watches - The app can be installed on the Forerunner 70, 170 and 170 Music, the Instinct 3 AMOLED (45 mm and 50 mm), the Enduro 4, the Approach S72 (43 mm and 47 mm) and the D2 Mach 2 and Mach 2 Pro, alongside every watch it already supported. - Nothing about the app itself changed on the watches that already had it: the same shift detection, the same metrics, the same activity in Garmin Connect. - The Instinct 3 Solar, Instinct E and Venu X1 are not supported - their displays are a different size and shape from what the app is drawn for. # What's New - Version 1.01.048 This update asks for no new permissions, so it installs without you having to confirm anything. Hard skating is no longer counted as shots - The app took any hard swing of the arm for a shot, and a hard stride with a stick in your hand is exactly that. Players were seeing 100 shots in a game where they took five. Thank you to the reviewer who reported it. - A shot now has to stand out from what your arm has been doing in the seconds before it. Steady hard skating no longer counts; a single sharp swing still does. - Expect a much lower shot count than before. It is still an estimate from wrist motion, not a measurement. New setting: Shot sensitivity - In the app settings in Garmin Connect you can now choose Low, Normal or High. If the app still counts too many shots, pick Low; if it misses yours, pick High. Normal is the default. - The setting is separate from the player profile, and the profile page on the watch shows which one is active. The bench is recognised sooner - After a shift the app could take a minute to notice you had sat down. It waited longer whenever your heart rate was high, to avoid mistaking a face-off for the bench - but your heart rate is high every time you come off the ice. It now looks at whether the heart rate is falling, which it does on the bench and does not at a face-off. - Reaching for a bottle or adjusting your helmet no longer pushes the bench back as far as it did. - Shift times and the laps in Garmin Connect follow the change, so ice time will come out a little shorter and closer to what you actually played. # What's New - Version 1.01.047 This update asks for no new permissions, so it installs without you having to confirm anything. Now on the Approach S70 and S50 - The app can be installed on the Approach S70 (42 mm and 47 mm) and the Approach S50, alongside every watch it already supported. - Nothing about the app itself changed on the watches that already had it: the same shift detection, the same metrics, the same activity in Garmin Connect. If you play hockey and wear one of those watches, it now records your game the same way. - The older Approach S62 and S60 cannot run this app - their Connect IQ version is below what it needs.
