# Ice Hockey Tracker

Shifts, bench time and shots on indoor ice - the things your watch's built-in skate activity does not record.

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, stops the clock when you sit down on the bench, and counts shots, stops and turns from the way you move. At the end you get ice time against bench time, shift count and average shift length, recovery after each rest, and an estimate of distance and speed - on a rink where GPS never had a chance.

Outdoors, or on a rink where the signal is usable, it will take GPS as an extra source for speed, distance, track and the heat map. Indoors it does not need it at all.

## Key Features

## Supported UI Languages

English, Slovak, Czech, German, Finnish, Swedish, French, Polish, Latvian, Danish, and Norwegian.

- Improved responsive layout for different watch screen sizes.

Distance, shots, zones, heat map, and GLIDE/STAND detection are estimates. GPS is used only when available and usable. Indoor GPS can be poor or unavailable, so the app may fall back to watch-sensor estimates.

## Important Accuracy Note

This app is built for indoor hockey, where GPS is usually unavailable or unreliable. Distance, speed, shot count, shot power, heat map, and rink-zone time are estimated from watch sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, and heart rate unless GPS quality is usable.

These values should not be treated as exact position, exact skating distance, or official shot statistics. They are intended as training and workload estimates.

Calories are taken from Garmin activity data when available, otherwise estimated from heart rate and movement state. They should be treated as an energy-expenditure estimate, not a lab-grade measurement.

Heart rate and elapsed time are generally more reliable than distance, speed, shots, heat map, or rink zones.

For best results, calibrate the app with real skating drills and compare against video or coach observations.
