Host Families Needed: Croatian Youth Hockey Tour to Toronto

Billeting request from the KHL Mladost Hockey Club from Zagreb Croatia for their hockey tour in the GTA from February 14-27, 2027

My name is Krešimir Hasenöhrl, and I am the Team Manager and tour organizer of KHL Mladost, a hockey club from Zagreb, Croatia. We are writing to ask for your help with our young players’ upcoming tour of Toronto and the surrounding area (Mississauga and the rest of the GTA), planned for February 14-27, 2027.

This trip follows our very successful tours to Edmonton and Calgary, and it will be the club’s seventh tour of this kind. During our stay, the team will play friendly international exhibition games against local players of the same age, with both national anthems played.

We are travelling with 17 players aged 13 to 16. As we would love the boys to spend their stay among members of the Croatian community, we are looking for Croatian families who would be willing to host 2-3 players during this period.

All we ask of our host families is a bed and breakfast. We, the organizers, take care of everything else during the day: we pick the boys up in the morning and bring them back to their host family in the evening.

Please note that this is not a request for financial support. All costs are covered in advance by the players’ parents and our sponsors.

If you are able to host some of our players, or know of families, associations, or parish communities who might be able to help, we would be very grateful if you could get in touch or pass this message along within the community. We would be happy to provide any further information about the club, the tour, and the program.

You can watch a video report from one of our previous trips here. Thank you in advance for your help and support.

Moje ime je Krešimir Hasenöhrl i ja sam Team Manager (i organizator turneje) hokejaškog kluba KHL Mladost iu Zagreba. Obracamo Vam se s molbom za pomoc u organizaciji turneje naših mladih hokejaša u Torontu i okolici (Mississauga i ostatak GTA-a), koja je planirana od 14. do 27. veljace 2027.

Ovo putovanje nastavak je vrlo uspješnih putovanja u Edmonton i Calgary, a ujedno je i sedmo takvo putovanje našeg kluba. Tijekom boravka naši ce hokejaši igrati prijateljske medunarodne utakmice sa svojim vršnjacima, uz sviranje himni.

Na turneji sudjeluje 17 djece u dobi od 13.-16. godina. Buduci da želimo da djeca tijekom boravka budu u hrvatskoj sredini, tražimo hrvatske obitelji koje bi bile voljne primiti 2-3 igraca u navedenom terminu.
Od domacina molimo samo smještaj i dorucak. Za sve ostalo tijekom dana brinemo se mi iz organizacije: djecu ujutro preuzimamo kod obitelji, a navecer ih vracamo na spavanje.

Napominjemo da ovo nije molba za financijsku pomoc jer su svi troškovi unaprijed pokriveni od strane roditelja i sponzora.

Ako biste Vi mogli primiti djecu, ili poznajete obitelji, udruge ili župne zajednice koje bi nam mogle pomoci, molimo Vas da nam se javite ili da ovu poruku proslijedite dalje unutar zajednice. Rado cemo dostaviti sve dodatne informacije o klubu, turneji i programu.

Unaprijed zahvaljujemo na pomoci i podršci.
