"Hosting Whitecaps billets over the past years has been a great experience. Each of our student athletes became a true member of the family – we celebrated their successes, shared in the disappointments, and encouraged each other to be the best that we could. When one of our billets signed his first professional contract, we all celebrated for days! It was a privilege to be a part of their journey."
