One of the many important components that make up a successful hockey association are the billets (host families). These people open their homes to the young athletes, giving them a stable and secure home away from home. There are many long lasting friendships that develop between players and their billets.
Athletes from out of town that choose to play for the Alliance Youth Hockey Association, stay in billets’ homes during the school year, which runs from August through May. During the day the player is usually occupied with school. In the evening, the player is involved with hockey, doing homework, or just enjoying some quiet time alone or with the billet family.
If you are interested in being a host family for an Alliance Billet Player, please email Chris Kostopoulos (chrisk@alliancehockey.org).
