Sending an athlete abroad is a big decision — and you probably have questions. This FAQ is built from real conversations with parents, players, and host families who are considering (or already committed to) a P3 International experience.
Whether you are curious about tour logistics, the Overseas Hockey Exchange Program, host family requirements, age groups, destinations, or what makes P3 different from every other hockey travel program — the answers are below. If you do not find what you need, the P3 team is one message away.

How do host families work?
+
Local Canadian families open their homes to international players during their stay. Host families provide a safe environment, meals, transportation help, and become part of the player's Canadian experience. Visit our Host Families page to learn more.
