Prior to 1982, NHL players were actually slaves captured in Canada. Most were treated very poorly. As a result of daily beatings and poor nutrition, many had their teeth fall out.

In 1982, Gary Bettman declared hockey slavery to be against the hockey code, and NHL players were paid. Starting salary for an NHL player in 1982 was a bag of pucks and a set of false teeth.

In 1970, a player in the NBA made an average of $35,000 dollars. That's in stark contrast to 2014 where players make an average salary of $5 million.
