The Cranbrook Bucks are looking for more billet families to take in athletes.
“A big billet push right now from both the Bucks and our academy team. There are a lot of young athletes who are looking for a place to stay,” Bucks president and owner Nathan Lieuwen.
“If you have a spare room in our house and want a nice young man who is very motivated in what they do to be a part of your family then we’d love to hear from you.”
Being a billet includes monthly compensation, discounts on concession and merch and season tickets for the household.
Lieuwen said it can have a lasting impact.
“I appreciate so much what my billets did when I was here, not just housing me but the relationship that becomes a lifetime.”

The Bucks are also getting ready for their annual golf tournament.
It will be at the Cranbrook Golf Club on Sept. 6 and all proceeds go towards the Bucks’ education fund.
