Grizzlies Billet Families
It’s time to start thinking HOCKEY! The Rochester Grizzlies are beginning their search for NEW BILLET families for the 2024-25 Grizzly season. Billeting can be as simple as providing meals and a bed, BUT you are also creating a relationship that can last a lifetime. Your family becomes their family and you truly play a role in their growth and success, in hockey and in life! As a host family, you will receive season tickets to all home games as well as a $400 monthly fee from each player you host. It truly is a wonderful experience! If you are interested in learning more about how YOU and your family can play a role in the life of a Junior hockey player, and be a billet family, NOW is the time! Please reach out to Theresa Radel at 507-421-6114 to learn more.
