Friday, July 3, 2009  — 

The Chadder's Hockey program is looking to match our out-of-town student athletes with great people who are enthusiastic about the great sport of hockey, and would be interested in housing a player during the upcoming hockey season.

Many families and players alike have benefited greatly from the “Billeting” process, where a player from out of town becomes “one of the family”.

The type of player that is willing to billet in order to further their playing career is sacrificing the comfort zone of their own home, school, and friends to pursue their dream. This kind of player is typically the type of young man that you would want to have in your home.

The five USA Hockey-sanctioned NAPHL events utilize the USA Hockey Officiating Development Program and are designed to maximize the exposure of all the Midget participants through the NAHL's high-profile recruiting events, which attract hundreds of college, junior and professional scouts.

Orchestrated by the NAHL's experienced and professional staff that makes player promotion a priority, the NAPHL provides an organized and competitive experience with an unrivaled scouting presence guaranteed to benefit all of the participating student-athletes and programs.

Those teams not accepted into the NAPHL may still apply for the Open Division at the NAHL Showcase Tournament, scheduled for September 17-20, 2009 at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine, Minn. 

The North American Hockey League, the only USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier II Junior A league boasting 18 teams from across the country, prides itself on the social maturity and skill development of student-athletes ages 16-20 with aspirations of advancing to collegiate and/or professional hockey.
