The Coquitlam Express are looking for families in the Tri-Cities, New Westminster and Burnaby area who are interested in becoming a Billet Family for an Express Players for the 2021-2022 Season.
The choice to play for a team sometimes does not come down to the team itself, the program, coach or location, the choice lays within the balance where are they going to live.
A Jr A hockey player who leaves home to follow their dreams, are filled with hope, and excitement, yet coupled with much anxiety and fear. The pressure to adapt to a new community, new climate, new teammates while performing both on and off the ice is great and can be challenging at the best of times.
Without caring billet families to ease the transition, our prospected Coquitlam Express Junior Athletes and future stars may never make the decision to pursue their dreams, while the rewards of hosting a Jr A player can turn into lasting relationships between the players and the billet family, creating positive changes for everyone.
Billet families play a big role in the success and well-being of our Athletes, from providing a roof over their head, feeding them, treating them like family, to teaching the value of giving back. These athletes come with dreams and most do not really realize how hard it is to be away from home until they arrive. It is the Coquitlam Express’ goal to assure that we help these athletes through the transition and show them there is a home away from home, with people who will be there to cheer them on and to support them through the high and low.
The importance of billet families to the Coquitlam Express Jr A Hockey Team is priceless. The Coquitlam Express appreciates the commitment, kindness and dedication of all our billeting families. We thank you for being there for our athletes.
