Host families needed for local hockey players

The Compete Hockey Academy, based at Frontier Ice Arena in Coeur d'Alene, is in immediate need of host, or billet, homes for its players.

The program includes elite level players from throughout the U.S. and Europe who require housing assistance from families within the community.

"Billeting" is a hockey tradition and is especially important at the elite level of hockey. This concept involves local host families providing a home to out-of-town, out-of-state or out-of-country players for the school year.

For more information, contact the organization's billet/educational coordinator, Trina Tinder, at [email protected].
