Each season the Boston Jr Rangers have players ages 15-20 from all over the world who leave their families and friends and move away from home to play the game they love. To take advantage of the opportunity to develop themselves on and off the ice, our players need families willing to open up their homes. Our host families play a vital role in the long-term success of our players. The families prove to be great role models and provide a supportive family environment that will make a significant difference in the lives of these players. It is our goal to provide our players with the best “home away from home” and to make this a great experience for both the player and host family. Some families will host two players as they then travel together and are company for each other. Rich DeCaprio, GM of the Rangers, helps to coordinate and oversee the process throughout the year. Host families are extremely important to the Jr. Rangers players and the organization. Host families become a part of the Jr. Rangers team and family.

Each player will need a room of his own, or a room he can share with a teammate. We ask that each family provides a bed and a bureau or closet. It is also the host family’s responsibility that the player’s meals are provided for.

The players must adhere to all team and house rules and show respect toward all family members. Players are responsible for their own transportation. Most players will have a vehicle of their own or will coordinate with teammates and roommates.

Host families will have a player for a minimum of 8 months (August 15th to April15th). Each family will receive a monthly personal payment of $550 per player.
