For context, the very top players in the UK might earn £50k in the Elite League, but the average is half of that. That £50k salary is similar for someone on an entry-level “prospect” salary in the NHL, but you can add a zero to that figure if you join the 1st team squad. These players on below-average UK salaries competed alongside players earning in excess of $10m per year.
