Billet Information

The Saint John Sea Dogs are looking for billet families to welcome young hockey players into their homes.

Billet families play a vital role in shaping the lives of these athletes, offering them a safe, supportive environment where they can grow both on and off the ice. Your involvement not only helps these players thrive but also strengthens our community and the Sea Dogs organization as a whole. The support of our billet families is truly appreciated and essential to the success of these young athletes.

Will billet families need to drive players to practices, games, or team events?

No — transportation for team activities is coordinated by the team and players.

What does the billet family provide vs. what the team handles?

Billet families provide a supportive home environment (room and meals), while the team manages schedules, transportation, and hockey-related logistics.

Do families need hockey experience to be a billet?

Not at all — families of all backgrounds make great billet homes.

 What is a billet family responsible to provide?

• A bedroom with a bed, closet, dresser and reasonable access to washroom facilities
• Nutritious meals including breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks
• A patient, caring and friendly home atmosphere
• Game Day meal prep and respect for pregame routines

What are the benefits of being a billet family?

• Being a part of a young man’s journey to fulfill a dream of playing professional hockey
• Two season tickets
• Stipend to help pay for groceries
