How many calories does ice hockey burn
An hour of ice hockey burns about 590 kcal if you weigh around 70 kg.
That's about
These numbers are for a player of about 70 kg, in an ordinary recreational game. A heavier player burns more, a lighter one a little less.
Half an hour is about 295 kcal and an hour about 590, the same as an hour of tennis. A competitive game goes higher, and field hockey is close behind at about 575 an hour.
Hockey is short shifts of flat out skating with rests on the bench in between, and that start and stop is what makes it so tiring. Putting the gear on is a warm up of its own.
Tips
- 1Join a weekly recreational league, regular ice time is the hard part to find.
- 2Skate a few laps before the game instead of standing at the boards.
