Moving from HockeyTracker is easier than you think.
1. Download HPT
Free to start — on the App Store & Google Play. Works with your existing devices.
2. Create Your Profile
Quick setup with your position, skill level, and preferences. Takes less than 2 minutes.
3. Import All Data From HockeyTracker
One tap. HPT finds your HockeyTracker sessions in Apple Health and imports every one — HT-badged, original HT metrics preserved. Nothing is lost.
4. Start Tracking
Old sessions and new ones side by side — 35 documented metrics, AI insights, richer charts.
5. Cancel HockeyTracker
Stop paying $3.99/month (or $25/year) for the old app — your whole history already lives in HPT, free on Starter.
Nothing is lost. Everything gets richer.
- All of it. Every HockeyTracker session imports into HPT, clearly marked with an HT badge.
- Original numbers preserved. HockeyTracker’s own metrics — HT Fitness Ratio, HT Max Efficiency Factor — stay on the session.
- Then it gets better. The same data is re-analyzed through HPT’s 35 documented metrics, charts and AI insights — richer views of the sessions you already skated.
- One timeline. Imported and new sessions live together in your history, trends and leaderboards.

Deeper analytics
35 documented metrics and AI coaching go well beyond the handful of basic stats HockeyTracker tracks—so you can see exactly what to work on.
Recovery insight
HRV and recovery readiness help you understand training load and when to push or rest—not just count shifts.
Share with your coach
Connect with coaches and teammates to share data and compare on leaderboards — dedicated coach dashboards and data export are on the roadmap.
Common questions.
Everything you need to know about switching.
What happens to my HockeyTracker data?
It all comes with you. HPT imports your complete HockeyTracker session history — every session lands in HPT marked with an HT badge, and HockeyTracker's own numbers (like HT Fitness Ratio and HT Max Efficiency Factor) are preserved on the session. Nothing is lost. From there, HPT runs the same data through its charts, trends and AI insights, so your old sessions immediately get richer views than HockeyTracker ever gave them.
Do I need an Apple Watch for HPT?
You can run basic, manual sessions on your iPhone alone. For full automatic metrics—shift detection, heart rate, speed, and recovery—you'll want a supported smartwatch. HPT works with Apple Watch and Wear OS watches; HPT is on the App Store and Google Play.
Is HPT really better value?
Absolutely. HPT's core features are free (vs $3.99/mo for HockeyTracker). Even HPT Pro at $7.99/mo offers 4x more features than HockeyTracker's paid version.
What if my team uses HockeyTracker?
HPT is great for teams! Players can share their data with coaches via friend-connect and compare on leaderboards — dedicated coach dashboards and data export are on the roadmap.
How accurate is HPT vs HockeyTracker?
Both apps automatically detect shifts when you skate with an Apple Watch. HPT layers 35 documented metrics, AI coaching, and player↔coach data sharing on top of the core stats HockeyTracker provides.
Can I try HPT before switching?
Yes — every new account includes a free 30-day Pro trial, full access, no credit card. Import your HockeyTracker history and run all of Pro on it for a month; if you don’t upgrade, everything stays on the free Starter tier.
