Who is this woman? Knows hockey and should be a model.
5,000 a year that’s rough
Let’s go Danville
Let’s go Danbury Hat Tricks, 2023 Champions baby
Ooof, we hockey fans have to help keep growing these leagues
Seems like they play for the love of the game. These guys would be paying to play on a beer league team s. They just want to play
Housing is provided but the quality of housing is very dependent on the health of that FPHL club. Many supplement their income with regular jobs in off season.
I’d do it (as of right now when I’m 15 years old that is)
Calling pro hockey is a bit of a stretch lol
The fact is that while they do not get paid very much during the season, all of their expenses are covered. They don’t have to pay for housing. They don’t have to pay for food they don’t pay for housing, and the booster club gives them a clothing allowance in most cities. So, by the time the season is over most of them have just pocketed at all of that money. Yes well most of them have second jobs outside of hockey they don’t play for the money. These guys play because this is a way that they can continue playing professionally.
lol 😂 why are you using the Binghamton Black Bears? 🐻 lol
No one supports the leagues cause for every young guy trying to make it theres 10 guys that arent going anywhere and act like they're the starting line in the chell.
Once I retire from the Army I would play in it!
yeah low pay but those who tend play do it out of pure love for the sport
These dudes are just prolonging the inevitable. sorry fellas time to grow up and move on.
But also they have their transportation their hotel and their food paid for and then they have a little puck bunnies like you that will you know what you will do anyways hit me up hun
It's really not that tough most guys work normal jobs in the off season these guys love the game more then your or any NHL players this is where you find the boys still grinding for next to nothing for the love of playing professional hockey
And to think Sieve4oilers couldn't keep a job where the pay is only $150 a week.
They do it for your snatch.
The top teams pay their players more circumventing the salary cap with visa gift cards and things like that. The league doesn’t have an even playing field in that regard. Top players on some teams would have a 3x pay increase on others
“What do you do to afford yourself the opportunity to play professional hockey?”
So this isn't in a third world country? 😮
Go to Canada play senior men aa and work an oil rig job or at a coal mine. Just as good hockey and can make 150K+
My uncle won two cups in fphl
That’s crazy non drafted WHL players get about 200 a week
As I read these comments I’m hurt and saddened that people feeling like they can talk bad about a pro league where guys are trying to make it to the next level. Which most of YALL can’t do. I’m a ice hockey player from nyc I’m 34 and my playing days are over but I have a brother who just got signed by port huron prowlers and tbh I couldn’t be more proud and happier. My family worked hard so we can get somewhere in life and my lil brother did it. The first in my family and the first in my neighborhood to do so with ice hockey. Something’s in life are bigger than what you might expect. My name is Robert Torain and my lil brother is Romeo Torain so be on the look out. Lil bro coming to make a name for himself 🙏🏽💪🏽💯🏒
