HOST A 67’s PLAYER FOR THE 2024-25 SEASON!

The Ottawa 67’s Hockey Club is very fortunate to have amazing Billet Families, but we are always accepting applications from interested persons and families as our billet needs vary from season to season.

The Ottawa 67’s Billet Family Program plays a significant role in the team’s success and each player’s experience in Major Junior hockey. Our Billet Families are special people who open both their homes and hearts to our players. The 67’s organization takes the utmost care to ensure they are placed in healthy environments and that both the players and the Billet Families are compatible.

We are currently placing most of our players in the Central Ottawa area. For safety purposes, this reduces the amount of time the players spend driving, especially in the winter months. The Ottawa 67’s players are student athletes ranging in age from 16 years to 21 years. The high school players attend school on campus near our arena at TD Place. Post-secondary players complete college, university, etc. courses online. All 67’s players are expected to continue their post-secondary education while playing for the 67’s organization.

We ask that Billet Families treat each player like a member of the family. We also expect that each player respects the rules of their Billet Family and the rules of the hockey club. The boys have very busy days but the family they go home to in the evening is as important as the training, coaching and education they have during the day.

what we expect:

Here is what we look for in Billet Families:

• A player must have his own room, cannot share with a family member.
• A double-size bed (or larger) with bedding. Closet space for suits etc.
• A desk /table, chair and Internet access.
• Close access to a washroom. Does not need to have his own washroom.
• Access to Laundry Facilities.
• Completed Police Check of billet parents and any older children living in the home – Ottawa Police Record Check Level 3 Vulnerable Sector.
• Healthy Foods for Breakfast and Lunches to be available for the player to make or take with him to school, etc.
• A warm dinner (which is the key meal as the player is expected to be with the family at this time).
• Note: There are times when the players are expected to attend Team events, dinner functions etc; but they are expected to notify each billet family in advance.
• Parking (not compulsory but is increasingly becoming a need) as many of the players have or eventually will have a vehicle.
• Availability throughout the season from late August (Training Camp) to April (or May if the team advances to the Memorial Cup).

We do NOT expect

What we do NOT expect Billet Families to do:

• Drive players to school, practices, games or special events.
• Book any medical, dental or other appointments.
• Store or wash any hockey gear at their house.

THE BILLET FAMILY WILL RECEIVE

A $550 monthly stipend (per player) to assist with additional costs (food, etc.)

Home game season tickets, including pre-season and all playoff games

An underground parking pass for each home game at TD Place parking
