Billet Program

Each year, the Red Bank Generals USPHL Premier and Elite programs have out of area players who want to come and play for one our teams. The billet or host family concept is considered by many as a hockey tradition.  It involves host families opening their homes and families to out of area players, and provides an opportunity for these young men to pursue the next step in their developing hockey careers.  These talented players, who show the potential to play at an elite level, seek the opportunity to play for an organization that can help them to achieve their goals.  The host family has a great opportunity to build life-long relationships, assist players in achieving their dreams and allow them to become role models within their homes.

If you have interest in learning more about this great opportunity, you can submit an inquiry to our billet coordinator by filling out the form.

Hosting Kevin Pico as our billet was an incredible experience for our entire family. From day one, Kevin became more than just a guest in our home—he truly became part of our family. Our children had the unique opportunity to watch a dedicated, hard-working young man pursue his passion with discipline and heart. Kevin served as a wonderful role model, both on and off the ice.

Throughout the season, we not only deepened our understanding of hockey, but our kids did too—and loved every minute of it. We also formed a lasting bond with Kevin’s immediate family, and we know these relationships will continue for years to come.

If you’re considering becoming a billet family, we wholeheartedly recommend the experience. It’s about so much more than hockey—it’s about connection, growth, and opening your home to someone who just might change your life for the better.

If you are considering having a billet even a little bit I would highly encourage you to look into it. We have 2 young boys who play hockey (11 & 8) and a little 5 year old girl. We had the space but were hesitant and didn't know what to expect.

It was one of the best decisions we made as a family. These boys are great, hardworking boys. They ended up becoming family to us. They played with our kids, went to their games, helped around the house, shared stories, babysat...the list goes on.

They were truly a part of our, and our kids lives. We keep in touch via FaceTime, visits and text chains and the season only ended two months ago. We are beyond happy we took the chance and pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone - it was the biggest gift.
