average calorie burn for hockey per hour
Crunching the Numbers. Calorie burn depends on many factors, including body weight. For example, a person weighing 125 lbs can expect to burn approximately 475 calories after playing hockey for one hour, while a person weighing 190 can expect a burn of about 700 calories per hour. Calories burned are similar for field hockey, according to a July 2004 issue of the Harvard Heart Letter.. Although an average hockey game lasts 60 minutes, only about 25 percent of that time is actually spent playing and actively burning calories.
