Add a HockeyShift calendar to UpNext Family

Before you start

Check your access

• Find your league or association’s website. HockeyShift sites often have an address ending in hockeyshift.com.
• Know which team you want; the subscription is per team.

Part 1

Copy the link from HockeyShift

1. Open your league’s HockeyShift website and go to Stats, then Schedule.
2. In the filters, select your child’s team.
3. Open the More menu and choose Subscribe.
4. Follow the on-screen options. If a calendar link is shown (it often starts with webcal:// or https://), copy it.

Provider note: If your league’s Subscribe screen only offers to open Apple Calendar and never shows a link, subscribe there and then use UpNext’s Apple Calendar method instead of guessing the link.

Part 2

Add the link to UpNext

1. Open UpNext Family, go to Settings, find Calendar Feeds, then choose Manage → Add Calendar.
2. On “Where does your schedule live?”, choose Calendar link.
3. Expand “Need help finding a calendar link?” and choose Other; follow the short cue.
4. Paste the private subscription URL into the calendar link field, then choose Preview and continue.
5. On “Who is this for?”, choose the family member and enter the group name and activity. Season and notes are optional.
6. Choose Review import, check the schedule preview, then choose Import calendar.

Part 3

Confirm that it is working

Open Settings, then choose Calendar Feeds. The new calendar should show its provider, upcoming-event count, and an OK status after the first import. Use Refresh calendars → Check now later to ask connected calendars for current changes.

UpNext displays only a redacted source address after import. It does not show the private path, query, or token again.

Troubleshooting

If the calendar does not load

• If Subscribe is missing, make sure a single team is selected in the schedule filters.
• If the preview shows the whole league, return to the filters and select one team before copying the link.
• If HockeyShift is not listed as a provider in UpNext, choose Other; the link works the same way.
• Make sure you copied a subscription URL beginning with webcal://, http://, or https:// — not an ordinary event page.
• If the provider only gives you a downloaded .ics file, return to Add Calendar and choose Calendar file. That is a one-time import and will not refresh automatically.
