Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Club looking for host families

Find out more about becoming a host family! The Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Club is currently looking for host families for the 2021-22 season. Each season the Hawks recruit talented junior hockey players who come from all over the country, and even internationally, to play for you right here in Sheridan, Wyoming.

To take advantage of this great opportunity, these players need families and individuals willing to share their homes. Host families have included traditional two-parent families, single-parent families, and “empty-nesters” too. All that is really needed is a willingness to help a player pursue their dream by providing a “home away from home”. The importance of billet families to the Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Club and its player cannot be overstated, and the benefits for you of having a player share your home can last a lifetime.

Hosting a Hawks player can be a fantastic experience, whether you live alone or have a house full of your own children. In most cases, very strong bonds form between the player and the billet family, as well as with the player’s family. These relationships may carry on for many years after the player has left the team. Often billet families continue to follow their players during their college or even professional career. Our players can be great role models for younger children in the billet family, as they demonstrate hard work and determination to achieve tough goals.

Each month, billet families will receive a $300 per month stipend per player to help defer some of the expenses of extra food and utilities. Billet families receive up to 4 season tickets to all Sheridan Hawks home games (depending on the number of family members in the household).Billet families can also get a discounted membership in the Friends of Sheridan Hawks booster club! Most important, billet families get to form long-lasting relationships with their players and a lifetime of memories. Your willingness to share your home and family is all it takes, and you will truly make a difference in a player’s life.
