Become a Mercer Chiefs Billet Family

It’s more than a place to stay. Be part of a player’s journey.

Become a Mercer Chiefs Billet Family
A billet family hosts a player who has relocated to the area to pursue junior hockey.

These players come from across the U.S., Canada, and beyond and quickly become part of your home and daily life. What starts as hosting often turns into something much more, with many families building relationships that last well beyond a single season.

From the Program
"I know from personal experience, I have billeted boys over the years, and I can share that the experience is a wonderful one for my family. We will always consider these young men a part of our family. Also, I was once a billet player and I will always consider my host family my second family."
Coach Rob Broderick

From the Billet Coordinators
"We have welcomed players into our home, and it quickly becomes more than just hosting. They become part of your day to day life. Dinners, conversations, big wins, and tough losses. Watching them grow and move on to the next level is something really special. The relationships built through billeting do not just last a season. They often last for years."
Esther and Jeff Schultz, Billet Coordinators
