Help the Tbirds by becoming a Billet
We have a very strong network of billet families in the Las Vegas area that have been helping the organization since the beginning. If you have questions about the program, please reach out to billet@tbirds.vegas
Whether you’re a player, parent, or fan, we hope the information on this page helps you understand what the billeting experience is like for both the families and the Las Vegas Thunderbirds players. These young hockey talents come from various parts of the globe to play hockey and enhance their skills in preparation for potential advancement to the college level or even to the NHL.
While our coaching staff oversees their on-ice development and care, an essential aspect of a Thunderbird player’s experience is what happens off-ice in the homes they are billeted in. We take pride in providing our players with the best accommodations possible and aim to pair each one with caring families in the local community. For many of our players, this is their first time away from home. Providing a stable home environment significantly contributes to the peace of mind and well-being of these 16-21-year-olds and their families back home. Many have found that becoming a billet family is a rewarding experience, forming unique bonds with the players in their care.
