The AF system accuracy is amazing. It doesn’t always behave the way you want; it’s not quite the same behavior as the 5D4, but when it locks on eyes it’s fantastic.

I'm not 100% convinced that the current Canon mirrorless AF is superior for hockey, as the helmets do not provide as good of a tracking target.  Provided this is comparing to my R5, but I think I prefer the 5D4's dSLR's AF system better for some sports, such as ice hockey.  It is more consistent and more responsive.  The R5 has more details when downsample to the same resolution though, and the ISO performance seems to be slightly better as well.  I've not shot a R62, so, hopefully, others will chime in on their thoughts.
