* UK Hockey Players: What's the Pay Like?
The average player wage in EIHL equates to around £34,000. This suggests that the highest salary for a player in the UK league only amounts to a tiny fraction of the biggest contract in the NHL – the top earners in history may have penned contracts of around £50,000 per year. The level of finances that clubs have to utilise for player recruitment is simply in totally different stratospheres between the NHL and the EIHL.

Average salaries are believed to be in the range of £12,500 to £47,000 for players in the Elite League.
Let’s be clear however, compared to the big leagues (NHL and KHL), the UK does not pay that well.
On the show, he explained that players in the Elite League earned approximately $17,000 to $65,000.
This equates to roughly £12,500 to £47,000.
There are other benefits however, mainly that the the league does not play excessive amounts of games, travel between teams for matches is short and many cities in the UK are desirable places to live.
The team takes a more holistic approach to its payment of players and will consider housing, cars and trips etc.
So how much do Manchester Strom players get paid.
In monetary terms, probably somewhere between £12,500 and £47,000.

For context, the very top players in the UK might earn £50k in the Elite League, but the average is half of that. Below that level no one is full-time just as a player.
In 2021 and 2022 the GB national team played in the World Group of the World Championships alongside the US, Canada, Sweden and Russia. These players on below-average UK salaries competed alongside players earning in excess of $10m per year.
