Versa 2 won't track my Ice Hockey exercise

[Sjg6428]

Folks, versa 2 user. It tracks soccer accurately (steps, heart rate, calories). It doesn’t track ice hockey skating or playing at all (no time of play, tracking heart rate, etc) why?

Hi there, @Sjg6428. Welcome to the Community Forums. 

Please note that when a specific exercise is not available within the exercises we offer, we suggest to use "Workout". Once you finish your play, you can rename the activity to Ice Hockey. 

Nevertheless, bear in mind that when renaming the activity from Workout to Hockey, the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. To give you an example if you change a workout to Run, it wont remove the calories but will add distance and this happen depending of the activity you are categorizing. 

Hope this helps.

So out of curiosity, there are community posts about hockey from 2015. Why and or how has a sport like hockey not been implemented by fitbit in 7+ years of community members asking for it? I use an android phone and would perfer to not have to switch to Apple products to actually track my activity in a sport I play 2-5 times a week.

I agree-

my heart rate goes through the roof, often, no record of it.

I wear my Versa 2 while figure skating & doing laps for cardio. It records the activity as a workout but you can also create a custom exercise then recategorize the workout. You can also update your exercise shortcuts:
