Become a billet family
For those who have never heard the term “billet,” it has been around for decades and describes the family that houses a hockey player locally and basically steps in as his parental influence while the player is in town. The billet family provides a home for the player, meals, a place to do laundry, study and relax, etc. It is a place to build deep connections with a player who in many cases is living away from home for the first time. Players aged 15-18 need homes from September to mid-March. Families who host Moose players will be provided a $400 monthly stipend.
The players are in need of more than just a roof over their head and a refrigerator to pillage, hockey players, are at a critical juncture as they transition into young adults and professionals. Safe, loving and supportive homes are essential in enabling our players to achieve their goals in hockey, but also as members of the Northern Colorado community. Families who host players will house an individual who will help serve as a role model to the family's children and be an active member in the home. These families form a family bond that lasts long after their players have moved on to further their hockey careers.
