Billet Information

Among some of the benefits of becoming a billet:

Each billet family is paid a monthly stipend to house a player in their home.
Generally, billets, players and the player's family develop very special bonds and remain close long after the player has left the Fort Wayne Spacemen Juniors organization.
This is a great opportunity for your family to learn about another state, or even another country.

Players arrive for training camp in mid August and will remain in town until the end of the USPHL hockey season in early March. Players typically have a 7-10 day break at Christmastime to return home.

There are team policies that the players must abide by, and we expect our billet families to enforce these team rules.

Billet house rules will need to be communicated to the player when he arrives.

Life was too hectic for us at the beginning of the Spacemen's season to jump into something new with billeting, but after hearing Lance and Caden's stories, we knew they would be a great addition to our home. From the moment they moved in they were respectful and always helpful. Having a travel player of our own, we know that someday this may be a living arrangement for our son as well, so we wanted them to feel at home. They soon started practicing with Nathan's team as well as helping him off the ice, having stick handling contests at home. All in all, billeting was a great experience for our family and we will certainly welcome these players into our home for many seasons to come.
