Merritt, BC – August 21, 2012
The Merritt Centennials would like to announce that they are currently accepting applications for billet families for the 2012-13 season.
The Cents Billet Family Program plays a major role in our team's success both on and off the ice. It takes special people to open their homes and hearts to our players and we take the utmost care to ensure our players are placed in environments that are conductive to care, understanding and safety.
We ask that our players be treated like any other member of your family. It is important that the player respects the rules of his billet family and the billet family respects the rules of the hockey club. The values and principles for success that are essential to become a member of the Merritt Centennials will be demanded at the rink, in the home, in the community and in school.
ACCOMODATION REQUIREMENTS:
* Single or double bed per player
* Dresser and closet space
* Towels are responsibility of billet family
* Players may share a room with another player, but not with billet family members
* Dry cleaning is player's responsibility
* Long distance phone calls are player's responsibility
* Parking space is required for players' car (if applicable)
* A desk or table with adequate lighting for school work
The Merritt Centennials currently provide the following benefits to our billet families:
* A monthly stipend to help cover costs
* A full 27-game season ticket for each family member living in the household
