Billeting

Our Program welcomes players from Canada, the USA, and around the world, to the beautiful city of Victoria, BC.

These players participate in a high performance hockey academy and are full time students at QELEṈSEN Á, LEṈ Secondary School in the SD62 Sport Academy Program. The players/students will be living with billet families from the beginning of September until the end of the school year in June.

Billet families provide players with a home away from home. Along with providing meals and transportation when needed, the billet families provide an environment of support and trust for the players. The billet family, in many cases, feel that they have gained a new family member whose career they can monitor as they move on to play at the junior, college, semi pro or even professional level.

If you are interested in hosting a player/student and believe the experience would suit your family, or for further details, please contact Jason at billeting@pcha.ca or by telephone at 250-462-5191 and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

What does a billet family provide?
