billet families
When they're not on the road or on the ice, Madhatters players find comfort and stability with their billet families. Located in and around Marietta, these families open their homes—and their hearts—to provide a safe, supportive environment where players can relax, recharge, and feel truly at home. From shared meals and quiet study time to weekend activities and lifelong bonds, billet families play a vital role in each player’s junior hockey journey.
Each host family is carefully selected and screened through official USPHL background checks, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment. For parents and players alike, this offers peace of mind and the assurance of a genuine home away from home—where athletes are cared for not just as players, but as part of the family.
