Seeking Host Families for New Ice Hockey Program at The Edge

The Edge and its East Coast Wizards have added a Junior Men’s and a Junior Women’s ice hockey team for athletes ages 16 – 20 during the 2014 / 2015 season.

Because team members will be from towns near and far as well as outside Massachusetts, the Edge is looking for host families willing and able to billet a player. Team members will be enrolled in local schools, so the program seeks families willing to mentor the athletes, and to provide a structured family environment outside the rink.

A similar opportunity worked well when the women’s national hockey team practiced at The Edge for several months before heading off to the Olympics.  A search for equally supportive families is underway for the new junior teams.
