The NHL's regulated minimum, is 500,000 a year, but I think some players have earned up to $11M a year.
Thay get more money a week than the president in a year.Depends where in Europe.
You can earn most money in KHL, Russia. Average pay is around 400-500k € per year and still growing drastically, also taxes aren't that high as for NHL players.
Next, Elitserien (Sweden), NLA (Switzerland), DEL (Germany) - about 250k €
SM-Liiga (Finland) somewhere around 200k and ELH (Czech Republic) around 150k. These pay the most.
Extraliga (Slovakia), EBEL (Austria) and some other league players can earn about 80-100k in average.
Hockey was an amateur game in the 1880's. No one got paid.
NHL stands for the National Hockey League. This league includes countries such as Canada and the united states. sometimes players from Sweden and other European countries come and get drafted into the NHL. The players make lots of money from playing in this league.

All professional hockey players get paid. They just make more money if they play in a world championship. They make more money from their basic salary and from endorsements of products. If they bet on the game they are playing in, they could be in trouble, because betting on the sport you are playing in is usually illegal.
Hockey players on average make less money than football players. Obviously there are some hockey players that make more than some football players. Eli Manning signed a contract for 120 million over 8 years, or 15 million a year on average. Nicklas Lidstrom signed a 2 year 20 million contract which is 10 million a year. Both players re at the top of the payload in the leagues. The lowest paid players in the nfl make $285 000. The lowest players in the NHL make almost $500 000 a year. So there is a bigger spread in the salary of football players. There is potential to make more money in the NFL, but NHL players are guarenteed $500 000 a year. So it depends on the player on who makes more money
Professional hockey players do not have salary caps, however the team they play for do. example, a player can make as much money as the team is willing to pay him, but the total salaries of all the teams players must be below a certain amount.
East Coast Hockey League players make considerably less than pro players. The East Coast Hockey League's average salary is $380 per week.
$350-$450 per week not including room and board or road expenses. Not much compared to the big leagues.
NBA players make more money than NFL players because in the NBA there are more games and the more games you play the more money you make. So that is why the NBA players make more money than the NFL players.
That does not make any sense
yes! yes it is for me because hockey players make big hits or fighting is part of the game
Most ECHL players make around $500/week.
