How much do junior players make? 200 bucks a week? do they have to sign contracts? do they all make the same? How does this platform work? can they sign endorcements?
i believe chl players (OHL, WHL, QMJHL) are payed something like $150 a week.
edit: i was way off - apparently the average salary is closer to $500 a week.
But NCAA claims CHL players are pros. Doesn't that mean they make millions (WELL, more than U of Florida football players at least) and the scholarships to CIS SCHOOLS are redundantMaybe a very few make $500 a week but that is very doubtable. From what Ive heard in the last few years they get paid from $70-$100. Not %100 sure if thats true but thats what Ive heard over the last few years. No CHL team is going to pay every one of its players $500 a week either.
Stars players who comes to Juniors Leagues gets paid way more than the guy who's a 11th round pick and gooning it up to make the team.
Either way there are about 4-5 OHL teams who break the rules and pay certain high end players to get them to report, but there is no way to prove it so hopefully the league will begin to address this to make the whole entity a more even playing field.
There are a lot more than 4-5 teams doing that.
[mod: really big name] got $100 000 to report to London, unconfirmed of course.
But yeah CHL players get billeted, food all that stuff provided. They also get gas money, and some teams give small allowances.
Team's also give bonuses however, depending on stuff like regular season record and winning playoff rounds etc.
Junior players don't get salaries (or at least they shouldn't). They get allowances of 50-100 bucks a week mostly just for pocket change or to help out their billet familes.
they are paid on salary, they sign contracts negotiate terms everything.
it depends on the player.
some players will ask for their university to be payed for up front and every year they play they get that many years paid for.
where as some will go for higher monthly salary around 300-400.
if i recall a buddy of mine who was in negotiations with calgary was offering him 150-250 a month and he was a a 6th round pick. i know for a fact it does vary how much you get paid where you were drafted - assuming you sign the contract before you join the team.
All players that have played in the CHL get a free ride scholarship to any Canadian University so their University is obviously going to be payed for no matter how good or how bad of a player they are.
no. it depends how many years you play.
if you play 1 year, you get one year paid. so on and so forth.
normally if you dont negotiate it for it to be payed upfront, essentially the team doesnt pay for it untill you complete one season at a time.
where as some player will get it pay upfront so if they want they can take a few courses throughout the season with the team paying for it. big difference.
Do junior players get sponsorship from manufacturers for playing equipment?
no. it depends how many years you play.
if you play 1 year, you get one year paid. so on and so forth.

I think every player at that level should make the same ammount. Kane got 100 grand? yea just fork over 100 grand to a 16 yearold kid.
These are kids not NHL players.
Because you can play hockey reall well that means at 15- 16 you should be paid more then the other kids your age?
I dont think thats very ethical.
