Housing Families

Just spent a few minutes with our housing coordinator - as we've been receiving the players housing questionnaires.  We're in need of some housing families.

No matter if they're playing in the USHL, the NAHL or countless other circuits across North America, junior hockey players pursue their dreams by moving away from home, changing schools and living with a local family, who initially at least, are strangers.
Housing families are a vital, and often overlooked aspect of the junior experience, and the success of a good match impacts the player, on and off the ice, long after his playing days are done. The quality of a young man’s situation at his new home often directly affects his performance on the ice.

The Buccaneers are always looking for families that are interested in playing an important part of the Buccaneer family. With the season just around the corner, it actually is a full time job right now.  Buccaneer housing families become second families for many players. Players live with the families through the entire season, attend school, work at part-time jobs and of course become part of the family.
If you have other questions or comments, please contact us at info@bucshockey.com and we will forward your information to our Housing Coordinator.
