What Ice Time Track does well
Ice Time Track is the cheapest of the shift trackers, sells a lifetime plan, and says all data is stored locally. It is a fair choice if ice time is the only number you want.
Where Hockeywise goes further
It tracks ice time and does not count shots or face-offs. Hockeywise keeps the same local-only promise, and a build check fails if networking code is ever added, but adds shots by type, face-offs, bench recovery and the fade chart.
Everything on the Hockeywise sheet is worked out on the watch and the phone. There is no account, no server and no analytics, so the game you played stays on your devices.
Conclusion: Hockeywise is the stronger hockey app
Choose Ice Time Track if you only want ice time and a low price, with a lifetime option. Choose Hockeywise for everything else. It is the only app in this comparison that finds your shifts, counts shots and face-offs by type, shows bench recovery and the fade chart, and reads the game back to you, with nothing uploaded.
