Join our team

You want to help the hockey team of our beautiful town as well as the players who are part of it to have a great and successful hockey season!🏒🥅

Become a billet family for our Titans aged 16-21 to offer them a safe and comfortable home.

Our players who come here, want to live life as part of the hockey family and live in a caring environment to have a home away from home and feel like they are part of the family away from their family💙

The Titans in return, of their utmost appreciation, are offering hosting families a season ticket for each player you could welcome into your home environment, including for the playoffs.🤗

Compensatory assistance in the amount of $600 per month to allow us to offer our players a healthy and complete diet to support them in the practice of their sport so that they have everything they need to perform on the. Ice as well as off the ice.

 

A wonderful experience guaranteed with lots of great memories to those who will extend their family to include a dedicated young man while playing for junior hockey
