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.

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.
These players on below-average UK salaries competed alongside players earning in excess of $10m per year.
