First NHL coaches don’t make a lot of money, comparatively speaking. Peter Laviolette currently has the NHL’s highest known salary for a coach at $4.9 million this season, while the average is much closer to $2 million per season according to multiple people I’ve spoken to. Jim Montgomery, for example, makes $3 million coaching an original six franchise.

According to inside sources and local reporters, the average NHL coach salary for head coaches peaked at $1 to 5$ million annually. This figure only holds for head coaches, managing tier-one teams in the NHL, as it is their salary structures that are most prone to the public eye.
On breaking down the annual figure, we’ve found that most NHL managers receive hourly wages between $19.80 and $31. This figure also features a variance of over $12, which clearly shows the difference between higher value and much more experienced coaches, compared to the junior ones. Even after getting sacked in November 2023, Jay Woodcroft’s salary structure still guarantees a total package of $6 million.
