Living & Billeting
Billet Families
Over the years, the team has been very fortunate to attract fantastic billets for all of our players. All potential billets are interviewed by the team and must submit an official police record check to qualify as billets. The team tries to find homes that will house two players in order to make the transition more comfortable for each new team member. Each player is responsible to pay their billet family the agreed upon billet fee on the 1st of every month. The billeting option is $600/month which includes all living expenses such as rent, food, utilities, internet. The families try to include players as a member of the family and treat them as if their own child.
Financial Obligations
Billeting is optional during camp, and the players in the homestay program are responsible to look after their own billeting payment on the 1st day of arrival. Billeting is CAD $600 per month ($20/day) paid directly to the billet family.
For import players, non-Canadian, insurance is recomended Manulife Financial and costs approximately CAD $120 for the duration of the spring training season. This insurance covers Covid-19.
Team fees amount to CAD $1800 with all team fee payments discussed and arranged over phone or e-mail. Payment schedules over 2-3 months are commonly arranged to accomodate players. Tuitions must be paid in full prior to arriving at camp.
