Mommy's Lunch

For the past several years, a group of Mommy's regularly invite the coaches out for lunch. The purpose of the lunches are: (i) for the Mommy's who may not normally meet the coaches to discuss their children or their children’s progress in the program; (ii) for the Mommy's to get to know the coaches and find out more about their hockey background; and (iii) for the coaches to experience some of the local cuisines.

Lunches have been held at Shanghainese, Cantonese and Brazilian restaurants, where the coaches have had the chance to try dan dan noodles, char siu, xiao lung bao, etc.

As most of the coaches do not have families in Hong Kong, the Mommy's feel they are not having a balanced diet. At these lunches therefore, the coaches are introduced to local dishes with lots of vegetables.

Most recently, the lunches have been extended to include Dads. It is mostly Dads who take the kids to hockey, but it was still good to have the Dads come along to get to know the coaches and discuss their kids’ progress.
