El Paso Rhinos looking for housing families

EL PASO, Texas -- The El Paso Rhinos are asking families in El Paso to house the team's players throughout the season.

Some players are from different parts of the world, and the organization said the billet program works similar to foreign exchange program.

The players ages range between the 17 and 21 years old, which is why the organization said they will need a comfortable and supportive billet family.

The team will be giving each family a $400 stipend every month per player and complimentary Rhino tickets for all the season games.

The organization will organize players' transportation to and from games, practices, and team events.

This need comes before the hockey season starts later this month. The season runs from late September to April.

Interested families are asked to contact the El Paso Rhinos Housing Director Kelly Erramouspe at 915-526-8506 or email housing@elpasorhinos.com.
