Billet families

Host an Aviator

Open your home to an Aviators player for the season — the heart of NAHL hockey, and a part of the Aviators family.

What is a billet?

A billet family houses an Aviators player in their home — providing meals, a place to study, and a supportive environment. You don't need to know hockey; the experience is rewarding either way.

Who can be a billet family?

Two-parent, single-parent, and empty-nester households all make great billets. Players — often from out of state or international, away from home for the first time — typically arrive in mid-August and stay through the season (usually May).

How it works

Start with the application below (no commitment yet). Billet families pass a criminal background check (per league rules) and a home site inspection. A short questionnaire from both families and players helps us pair everyone for the best fit.
