Every year players from around the country move to the area to play with the Irish Junior Hockey Club and prepare for College Hockey. Most of these players prefer to live in a family environment during the rigorous hockey season while they are away from their own families. Having host families that open their hearts and homes play a critical part in the success of the program, and help these athletes fulfill their dreams. In recent years. the support of billet families has helped Irish players move on to all levels of College Hockey
