HOUSING PARENT
Become a Housing Parent
The Chicago Steel USHL hockey club is always looking for
possible housing families for the current and upcoming
season.
The Steel players are amateur players and do not get
paid. They are elite level players aged 16-20 that are
focused on playing at the NCAA Division I college level
and at the professional level. Over 100 USHL players per
season receive college hockey scholarships due to the
respect and notoriety of the league and its players.
Each year, a number of USHL players are also selected at
the NHL Entry Draft in June. The USHL is highest level
of amateur hockey in the United States.
Steel players make excellent role models for young
hockey players aspiring to play at higher levels. Steel
players are outstanding student athletes and recent
players have committed to such schools as Miami (OH),
Harvard, Princeton, Notre Dame, Boston University,
Western Michigan, Quinnipiac, Michigan State, Michigan,
and Wisconsin.
The USHL season will see Steel players arrive
in Chicago in late August with the regular season ending
in mid April and playoffs concluding in May.
The Chicago Steel will pay local families $225.00 per
month for housing a player as well as season tickets for
each family member in the household. The family also
gets the benefit of building a relationship with a young
man attempting reach his goals and dreams in sports and
education.
Host families are expected to treat players as one of
their own while providing a bed/room and meals to the
player. Players are to have their own transportation and
spending money. The Steel have team rules in place for
all players and these rules are to be combined with
internal family rules set by the host parents.
The Steel are looking for comfortable housing situations
for our players with families that demonstrate a well
balanced family-oriented life style. We would like
families within a reasonable travel distance from our
home -- the Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville, IL. We also
wish that the host families help support the Chicago
Steel and its players.
For more information, or to set up a meeting with Steel
staff to visit your home to host a player – please
