RinkPulse

Track game, practice, pickup, goalie, open skate, and pond hockey sessions directly from your Garmin watch. RinkPulse records automatic on-ice and bench timing, shift count, average shift, longest shift, work/rest ratio, heart rate, heart-rate zones, skating speed, distance, calories, period, score, and post-session summaries. Skaters can track goals, assists, plus/minus, team score, and opponent score from the watch. Goalies can track saves, goals against, shots on goal, and save percentage. Indoor sessions can use RinkPulse's estimated skating speed and distance when GPS is unavailable or weak, with estimated values marked in the app. A RinkPulse Companion app for Android is in the works to store the hockey-specific details Garmin does not normally keep as structured hockey history. The companion app is being built to preserve completed RinkPulse sessions, shift-by-shift breakdowns, on-ice versus bench time, work/rest trends, score and period details, skater stats, goalie stats, heart-rate zone time with percentages, per-shift heart-rate trends, watch temperature trends when available, local notes, and estimated nutrition and hydration context. RinkPulse is designed for personal hockey tracking. Heart-rate, calorie, workload, nutrition, hydration, and VO2-related values are fitness estimates and are not medical guidance.
