Estimate calories burned playing ice hockey or field hockey from your body weight and playing time, with general and competitive game intensities.
Hockey Calories Burned Formula
The result is an activity estimate; actual energy use changes with position, shift pattern, rest, skating intensity, and individual physiology.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter body weight and select pounds or kilograms.
- Enter the time you actually played and choose the hockey type.
- Select Calculate and review both session calories and the hourly rate.
- Use Reset before estimating another session.
Example
A 180 lb player in 60 minutes of general ice hockey (8.0 MET) burns an estimated 686 kcal.

How to Interpret the Result
This is an activity estimate rather than a direct measurement. Position, active shift time, bench time, skating intensity, fitness, and individual physiology can materially change actual energy use.
Common Questions
Should I enter total rink time or active playing time?
Use the interval you want to estimate and apply it consistently when comparing sessions.
Why does pace change the result?
The selected MET value represents a different assumed energy cost for the activity.
Is the output a measured calorie total?
No. A laboratory measurement or validated wearable may still differ from this planning estimate.
