Billet families are an essential part of the CHE Academy experience, providing a structured, supportive home environment that allows student-athletes to thrive both on and off the ice. Athletes are expected to be integrated into daily family life, while also having the structure and space needed to perform at a high level. This includes:

• Inclusion in meals and daily routines
• A private, furnished bedroom (bed, desk, chair, storage)
• A respectful environment that prioritizes rest, recovery, and personal space
