The Weyburn Gold Wings are looking for billet families, as the team gears up for the 2016-17 season.

Becky Tuchscherer, the team manager, says they are short three host families heading into the season. In terms of perks and benefits to being a billet family, she added the families receive $400 a month, as well as a pair of season tickets for Gold Wings home games. There is another intangible benefit for the families, and that is the bond the players form with the family, she explained.

The players arrive on Sunday, with the regular season beginning in October. The team will also be playing a tournament in September. The reason for the early arrival for the players, is that they attend school in Weyburn, and the players arrive before the beginning of the school year.

Anyone who is interested in becoming a billet family can email Tuchscherer at manager@weyburngoldwings.ca, or calling or texting (306) 861-1453.
