Questions answered.

The iOS and Android betas are now live with users testing them daily to resolve bugs and better calibrate metric tracking. The official App Store and Google Play launches will follow in the next few weeks.

Android phone and Wear OS are in closed beta. Request an invite from the Beta Program page, or leave your email on our homepage to get product updates and be notified when Android and Wear OS reach public release.

Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data both in transit and at rest. Your performance data is private and secure.

While the app is designed for individual players at launch, our roadmap does have a "Coach's Dashboard" for team management. In the meantime, a coach can connect with his/her players via the "Connect Friend" functionality. This will allow the coach to see all of the player's data.

Apply for the beta through our Beta Program page. We'll review your application and send you an invitation via email within 1-3 business days. iOS and Android betas are live now.

Yes! Beta testers get completely free access during the entire beta period. No credit card required. We're asking for your feedback in exchange for early access.

The iOS and Android betas are currently active and will run for several weeks as we refine features and fix bugs. You'll be notified when the app officially launches.

If you encounter any bugs or issues during beta testing, please submit a bug report through our contact form. Include your HPT username (if different from your email) and select your platform. The more details you provide, the faster we can fix it!

It depends on your platform. iOS beta testers will be migrated to the production app at launch, including their data and preferences. Android and Wear OS are in an earlier closed beta, where the data model is still changing, so sessions logged there may not carry over to the production release.

When HPT officially launches, you'll be able to continue using the app. Beta testers will receive a special discount on premium features as a thank you for your participation.

Mobile: iPhone on iOS 17.6+ and Android phones on Android 8.0+ — both betas are live now. Wearables: Apple Watch on watchOS 10.6+ and Wear OS 3+ watches. A paired watch unlocks full skating metrics.

Yes—your account is tied to your email. Log in on any supported device and your data will sync automatically.

You can log basic sessions and stats like goals and assists from your phone alone. A supported smartwatch (Apple Watch or Wear OS) is required for full automatic tracking — speed, distance, heart rate, shifts, recovery, and explosiveness.

Yes! The watch app is included free with your HPT mobile app subscription. No additional purchase needed.

Yes! The watch app can track complete sessions independently. Data syncs to your phone when reconnected.

Real-time heart rate, shift timer, speed, distance, calories, and heart rate zones. Full analysis available on phone.

HPT is optimized for efficiency. Most watches can track 5-8 games on a single charge (depending on length of game and device type).

Many players wear a smartwatch under their glove during games and practices. That said, rules and referee discretion vary by league and level, so check your league's equipment rules before wearing one in a game.

Our models compare your session data to your own history and anonymized peers of similar age/skill, then surface patterns and convert them into actionable tips.

Yes—goalies get a dedicated goalie session type with their own stats (shots against, goals against, save percentage), plus heart-rate zones, explosiveness, and goalie movement analysis on Pro.

HPT tracks 35 documented metrics per session including ice time, speed metrics, heart rate data, distance covered, acceleration bursts, fatigue index, and recovery metrics. Sessions are automatically categorized as game, practice, training (and many others). You can also capture your own goals, assists, plus/minus, shots, and PIM.

Yes! You can manually enter session data including location, duration, goals, assists, and a few others. Unfortunately, no health or performance metrics can be captured without a wearable.

HPT uses accelerometer data and machine learning to detect when you transition from bench to ice; in short, it looks at acceleration and movement patterns to identify the start of a shift.

Yes! You can add or edit game stats and notes after a session. You can delete an entire session or individual shifts, if needed. By design, the only way to delete raw performance data is to delete an entire session or a shift. This was implemented to ensure data integrity and accurate historical tracking.

Yes—share any chart or your performance snapshot as an image straight from the app, or save the snapshot table as a CSV file. Full data export (CSV and PDF) is on the roadmap.

You'll see initial trends after 5-10 sessions. Meaningful long-term trends become apparent after 4-6 weeks of regular tracking. The more data you collect, the more accurate your trend analysis becomes.

HPT tracks three main categories: Core Performance (speed, distance, effort), Cardiovascular (heart rate, VO₂ max, recovery), and Explosiveness (acceleration, power output).

Yes! HPT shows how you rank against players in your age group, position, skill level, and even the league that you play in (among other filter options!).

There are different types of rankings. The Overall Performance Score (OPS) is a proprietary score developed by HPT, which combines and normalizes multiple metrics into one overall OPS score. Additionally, rankings are available for specific metrics like Average Speed, VO₂ Max, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and many others.

Yes! You can choose to display a username instead of your real name while still tracking your stats privately.

Earn trophies for milestones like 'Fastest Shift', 'Longest Game Distance', and many more. That said, we are still tweaking these!

That's easy! We designed our leaderboards to allow you to filter players by age group, skill level, position, country, and even league! With that said, make sure to update your profile!

Absolutely. Modern recruitment increasingly values objective data. Players who track and understand their metrics show maturity and commitment to improvement that coaches value. Many D1 programs now ask for fitness metrics during recruitment.

Speed (top and average), VO₂ max, and recovery metrics are universally important. Position-specific metrics also matter: acceleration and agility for forwards, gap control and transition speed for defensemen, lateral movement for goalies.

HPT complements team systems by providing personal data you own and control. Track additional sessions, summer training, and maintain consistency across teams. Your data follows you through your hockey journey.

Yes! Connect with your coach as a friend in the app (a Pro feature) to share your performance data, or send them charts and your performance snapshot as images for training discussions and development planning.

HPT is available in 14 languages:

• English, Spanish (Español), French (Français), German (Deutsch)
• Italian (Italiano), Portuguese (Português), Russian (Русский), Polish (Polski)
• Dutch (Nederlands), Swedish (Svenska), Finnish (Suomi), Czech (Čeština)
• Japanese (日本語), Korean (한국어)

You can change your language preference at any time in Settings → Language. The entire app interface and all metrics are fully translated into your selected language.

Yes—when you track with an Apple Watch or Wear OS watch, completed sessions write to Apple Health or Health Connect automatically (with your permission), so workout summaries, heart-rate and active energy stay in one place. On Android, apps that read Health Connect (e.g. Samsung Health) pick them up too.

Please reference the pricing information on the home page for full details on each plan.

Yes—manage your subscription in the App Store or Google Play. You keep Pro features until the current billing period ends.

While the app is designed for individual players, our roadmap includes a "Coach's Dashboard" for team management. In the meantime, coaches can connect with their players via the "Connect Friend" functionality, allowing them to view all player data. Contact our team for more information and to discuss your specific needs.

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). You control if/when to share reports, and you can export or delete data anytime. We never sell personal data.

You do—HPT is the data processor.

You can request to delete your account and data from within the app; specifically, you can submit the request from Settings → Delete Account.

You can get support in-app (Settings → Support) or email [email protected]. You can also submit the contact form.
