We completely understand that occasional absences happen due to illness, family commitments, or school events. We have students come from both mainstream and international schools, each with different exam periods and holiday schedules. We don't believe in a rigid attendance cut-off — instead, we ask that you let us know in advance the days your child will miss training, so our coaches can plan the training schedule accordingly, particularly when it comes to team formation and systems that require most players to be present. We will continue to monitor and support each individual student's progress to ensure every player who steps onto the ice is well-prepared, knows the systems, and can safely compete alongside their teammates. We'll track attendance transparently, and if you know in advance about a conflict, just let us know early — we're always happy to work with you.

我們完全理解，因病、家庭安排或學校活動而偶爾缺席是難免的。我們的學員來自主流學校與國際學校，考試期與假期各不相同。我們不設硬性的出席門檻 — 我們只希望你能預先告知孩子將缺席的日子，讓教練可以據此安排訓練內容，尤其是需要大部分球員在場的隊型與戰術訓練。我們會持續監察並支援每位學員的進度，確保每個踏上冰面的球員都準備充足、清楚戰術，並能安全地與隊友一同比賽。出席紀錄會公開透明；如你預先知道有衝突，請及早告訴我們，我們一定樂意配合。

Absolutely — in fact, we encourage it during the off-season. We believe multi-sport athletes develop better overall athleticism, reduce burnout, and bring fresh perspectives to their hockey game. Empire also offers other sports programs such as Floorball, Inline Skating, and Fitness programs. If your child is interested in exploring these activities, please feel free to approach our coaches for further details.

當然可以 — 事實上，我們鼓勵球員在休賽期參與其他運動。我們相信多項運動的訓練能培養更全面的運動能力、減少倦怠，也為冰球帶來新的視角。帝國同時提供地板曲棍球、直排輪與體能課程。如你的孩子有興趣，歡迎直接向教練了解詳情。

We're excited to share that we already have several tournaments lined up for our first season: the East Empire Hockey League (EEHL), a game most Sundays at Glacier, Festival Walk; Frozen Faceoff Kuala Lumpur, 30 September to 3 October 2026; Chiang Mai Thailand Hockey Tournament, 22 to 25 December 2026; and Mega Ice Hockey 5's in April 2027. We will continue to explore additional opportunities throughout the season and keep all families informed well in advance. We understand that life happens — we only ask that you let us know as early as possible so we can plan accordingly. We value commitment and open communication over perfection.

我們很高興首個球季已經確定多項賽事：East Empire Hockey League（EEHL），大部分星期日於又一城 Glacier 溜冰場；Frozen Faceoff 吉隆坡，2026 年 9 月 30 日至 10 月 3 日；泰國清邁冰球賽，2026 年 12 月 22 至 25 日；以及 2027 年 4 月的 Mega Ice Hockey 5's。我們會在球季內繼續尋找更多機會，並及早通知各位家長。我們明白生活總有變數 — 只希望你能盡早告訴我們，讓我們可以相應安排。我們重視的是承諾與坦誠溝通，而不是完美無缺。

For leagues — your child will already be participating in the East Empire Hockey League (EEHL), offering U7, U9, U11 and U13 divisions. Empire is a joint coordinator, so all league games will be under this umbrella. The EEHL is an excellent platform for players to prepare for tournaments and apply what they've learned in training within a competitive yet supportive setting. For tournaments — if Empire Glory is not entering a particular tournament, your child is welcome to join other teams. We believe in keeping our players active and developing, and we'll never hold them back from valuable game experience. However, whenever Empire Glory does participate, we expect our players to be there in our colors, together.

聯賽方面 — 你的孩子已會參與 East Empire Hockey League（EEHL），設 U7、U9、U11 及 U13 組別。帝國是聯賽的共同籌辦方，所有聯賽賽事均在此框架下進行。EEHL 是一個理想的平台，讓球員在具競爭性但同時支持性的環境中，為賽事作準備並實踐訓練所學。賽事方面 — 如 Empire Glory 沒有參加某項賽事，歡迎你的孩子代表其他球隊出賽。我們希望球員持續活躍與成長，絕不會阻止他們累積寶貴的比賽經驗。但每當 Empire Glory 參賽，我們期望球員一同穿上我們的球衣出席。

This is such an important question. In the Empire Glory program, every player is treated fairly and given equal opportunity to play. We don't build a team to showcase a few star players — we build a team where every child contributes, learns, and grows together. Win or lose, we do it as one unit. That means ice time in tournaments is shared, and every player gets meaningful minutes to develop and gain valuable experience.

這是非常重要的問題。在 Empire Glory，每位球員都會被公平對待，並獲得同等的上場機會。我們不會為了展示幾位明星球員而組隊 — 我們要的是每個孩子都有貢獻、一同學習與成長的球隊。勝或負，我們都是一個整體。因此賽事的上冰時間會共同分配，每位球員都能獲得有意義的出場時間，累積成長與經驗。

Yes — dedicated goalie development is available exclusively for Empire Glory goalies. We provide specialized, position-specific coaching during practice to ensure our netminders receive the focused attention they need to grow and excel in their unique role.

We take players of varying abilities and develop them together. Our measure of success is personal improvement — not where they start, but where they finish. We assess each child individually and provide regular feedback based on their own growth, ensuring every player feels supported and challenged at their own pace. We believe in respecting your teammates, celebrating each other's progress, and understanding that the scoreboard doesn't define us — the progress we make together does. Our coaches will give each player specific feedback on what they did well and what they can work on, so every child leaves the rink knowing they matter and have a clear path forward.

我們接納能力不同的球員，並讓他們一同成長。我們衡量成功的標準是個人的進步 — 不在於起點在哪，而在於最終走到哪裏。我們會個別評估每個孩子，並根據他自身的成長給予定期評語，讓每位球員都在自己的節奏下獲得支持與挑戰。我們相信要尊重隊友、為彼此的進步喝采，也明白比分並不能定義我們 — 定義我們的是一起走過的進步。教練會就每位球員做得好的地方與需要改進的地方給出具體評語，讓每個孩子離開冰場時都知道自己重要，也清楚下一步怎樣走。

The answer is simple: ice time in Hong Kong is very expensive, and we don't want to add that cost to the program fees. Instead, we use dryland and floorball training as smart, effective alternatives that give players just as much value. Dryland training helps players develop the specific movements and muscles used in ice hockey — agility, balance, core strength, and explosive power. When they get back on the ice, they can focus purely on skating and executing plays, rather than fighting their own fitness. It's also a great time to work on team formation, positioning, and systems — because off the ice, players don't have to worry about their skating level and can absorb tactical concepts much faster. Floorball training is valuable because it has similar passing patterns, shooting mechanics, and play development to ice hockey. The stickhandling, quick passes, and offensive/defensive transitions translate directly to the ice. It helps players develop their hockey sense, decision-making, and teamwork in a fun, fast-paced environment. Together, these sessions make every minute on the ice more productive — and keep the program affordable for everyone.

答案很簡單：香港的冰時非常昂貴，我們不希望把這筆成本加進課程費用。因此我們以陸上訓練與地板曲棍球作為聰明而有效的替代，讓球員得到同樣的價值。陸上訓練幫助球員發展冰球所需的特定動作與肌肉 — 敏捷、平衡、核心力量與爆發力。回到冰上時，他們可以專注於滑行與執行戰術，而不必與自己的體能搏鬥。這也是練習隊型、走位與戰術的好時機 — 因為在陸上，球員不用擔心滑行水平，能更快吸收戰術概念。地板曲棍球的價值在於它的傳球路線、射門力學與進攻組織與冰球十分相似。控球、快速傳球與攻守轉換都能直接轉移到冰上，並在有趣而快節奏的環境中培養球感、決策與團隊合作。兩者結合，讓冰上的每一分鐘都更有效率，也讓課程費用維持在人人可負擔的水平。

Yes — Empire Glory team members receive priority booking access with our head coach, Jimmy Chim, for private or small group classes. These sessions are designed to help players refine specific skills, build confidence, and accelerate their development at their own pace.

有 — Empire Glory 球員可優先預約總教練 Jimmy Chim 的私人課或小組課。這些課堂針對個別技術的打磨，幫助球員建立自信，並按自己的節奏加快成長。

We completely understand — getting to and from the rink can be a real challenge. To help ease the burden, we can arrange car ride service by grouping families living in the same area to share transportation. We'll work with you to coordinate shared rides so that no one has to make the trip alone. Just let us know in advance if you'd like to be included, and we'll do our best to make the logistics as smooth as possible for everyone.

我們完全理解 — 往返冰場確實不容易。為減輕負擔，我們可以按居住區域為家庭配對，安排共乘的車輛服務。我們會與你一起協調共乘安排，讓沒有人需要獨自奔波。如你希望加入，請預先告訴我們，我們會盡力讓所有安排盡量順暢。
