What is the average salary of an NHL hockey player?

The highest paid player right now is Jaromir Jagr @ $8.36 million.  The league minimum is $450k.\n\nIt hard to say what the average is because of bonuses and such, but it's somewhere between $1.28 and 1.46 million for the '05-'06 season.

Players are paid what the market offers.  Team owners generally overpay players in fear that the player may sign elsewhere.  I don't have a problem with a football player getting $2 million.  The average career of a football player is 4.5 seasons.  If that player is injured, and cannot work, then I can justify their salary.  As long as we the Suckers, keep buying tickets, jerseys, memorabilia and the like, then pro players will be overpaid.

Just a guess, but I'd say "mid-level exception." It's an approximately $5 million exception to the salary cap afforded to every team. If you see it next to a player, that might mean that they've been offered, or accepted, a team's mid-level exception.

The amount minor leaguers get paid is very small. The best prospects may make a lot of money but almost all of it is normally in the form of bonuses and not a salary. The minimum wage for players in the majors is 316,000 but for AAA players that is much lower. The minimum wage for a first year triple A player is 2150 a month, double A makes 1500 a month, high A 1050 a month and low A 850 a month. This salary goes up each year you are at that level. If a player gets moved up a level his contract is prorated and he is paid a fraction of the minimum at that higher level based off the amount of time he spends there

MLB has the highest average salaries, I believe, at $2.5-$3 million.  The NFL has average salaries close to $1.5 million.  The NBA and NHL are also in the $1-2 million range.  I'm quoting these from memory, as I've seen the numbers before, but they may have changed since I read the article.\n\nNote that the best players get payed quite a bit more than that (some are over $20 million).  All of the leagues have minimum salaries in the $300k-$500k range.

It means the player will get paid the same whether they're playing in the NHL or in the minor league.

Go to the teams' websites. A lot of them will have sections specifically for employment opportunities. I know in the National Hockey League, the NHL maintains a separate web domain (hockeyjobs.nhl.com) for that.\n\nIf you really want to be a higher-up, like a GM or whatnot, go to business school and get an MBA. That's an absolute pre-requisite for all prospective execs who are not former players-turned-whatever.

The top paid player in the CFL is Dave Dickenson at around $450,000. Milt Stegall is second with around $350,000. This is what I heard last season. But the average salary is only $40-45,000 since the salary cap is around $2.1 million.

Took me awhile but here it is -\n\nEach player will make an extra $15,000 just for playing on a wild-card team. Playoff bonuses increase to $68,000 for the Super Bowl winner.

Baseball.  Many baseball players got paid more than 20 million a year (A-Rod, Manny...), with long term contracts.  The best paid NBA player is about 18 M.  Best paid football players earn less than 10 M.  \n\nHowever, football players only play 16 regular season games.  It depends on how you calculate it.  Also, baseball players have much longer career, basketball players have more advertise income...

goal against your team when you are on the ice -1\n\ngoal for your team when you are on the ice +1\n\n\nIf you are on a good team, your +/- gets high\n\nIf your team sucks, your +/- might be quite low\n\nGood point, silverbullet - and although they'll never do this, I think it should be -0.5 if you are scored on while short-handed, and +0.5 if you score when on the power play.  And it should be -1.5 if you are scored on while on a power play, and +1.5 if you score while short-handed.  Just my opinion.  LOL

No, I think that having a salary cap for each team is enough.  Besides, 250K is well below the minimum salary now, and the NHLPA will never go for a cap that low.  \n\nBut I disagree with the person who said that they play for love of the game now.  I am sure they all love the game, but just because they're not making as much money as NFL players doesn't mean they're playing *only* for love of hockey.  If they played for the love of the game only, we wouldn't have lost an entire season while the players refused to consider a salary cap.

I think it's the award for getting the most points in the NHL during the regular season. The team with the most points also gets home advantage in all rounds of the playoffs. I think there is also a reward of $250,000 for the players on that team.
