What do players make on an ECHL salary?
- Just5

The ECHL weekly salary cap is $12,000 for a roster of about 20
Many of the players are are 1st through 3rd year pros fresh out of junior or college.

The way the teams are populated (roster) goes like this
ECHL teams sign about a dozen players, then their AHL affiliate has people under contract (maybe primary NHL affiliate draftees maybe not) who are AHL-ECHL. They split time like Flemming and some are AHL and emergency NHL call ups- depending on how they are contracted There may be about 2-3 players on the ECHL rosters are NHL draftees usually goalies and the off other player- twice cup winning goalie Jonathan Quick, and Reimer played in Reading during the affiliation

So many of these players are $400-$600 a week, plus free housing, medical in season and per diem for road games. They are very dependent on the booster clubs members who provide bags of stuff for road trips and sometimes there are dinners with the booster club or team events or just visits with the fans/boosters where they eat, LOL
These are young guys who eat a lot and burn a lot of calories.

A guy like Flemming on an AHL contract probably makes more, not sure about the split when hes down in the ECHL

Arturs Irbe was down with Johnstown years ago when he had a spat with Carolina and not sure how he counted against the ECHL cap with an NHL salary

I am a Royals STH and a supporter.

To be honest, you get a lot more personal contact with the players at this level and they are in the average community doing things and are not corporations yet.They are young guys trying to make it or have life experiences, not unlike young musicians playing the small venues!!!!

One thing hammarby and everyone who actually has played the game will find interesting

I asked an ECHL goalie who was at my table at one event about why people dont stand anyone else up at the blue line anymore- he said players will fight if they get checked at the blue line. Maybe you dont want to run someone when you are all making $400-$600 a week and move around a lot from team to team like these guys do. They are putting on a show and we all know some of the board hits are a lot more thunder than effect, just like a slapshot hitting the boards and people go OOOOOHHH.

But its a sad state of affairs when protecting your blue line like defensemen do even in amateur games has resulted in people fighting for a clean non harmful check.

Bottom line is she lost her livelihood over something inconsequential, its really a reprehensible action on the reporting scumbag. The more I think about it, the angrier its making me

honestly I am beginning to think more harm comes from facebook than good.

research studies where fb manipulated peoples moods, companies monitoring the site for hiring/firing purposes, cyber bullying, the oft chance of something embarrassing going viral, the spam, the viruses, the access to personal data by pretty much anyone.

I'm still on it but i use it less and less.

Its a shame about your co-worker. I wish her the best.

I figured you or Tangentman would pick up on that

Totally agreed. What a disgrace.

Common sense is sorely lacking. Jesus.

You gotta be careful. Businesses will check your social media before hiring you. Best thing to do is make everything private so only friends can see anything.

Yes sir!

I'm only 26. I don't understand this reference. I think it's a Brady Bunch reference.

I feel like the show 'Step by Step' was almost a remake of the Brady Bunch, but with a slightly more realistic feel.

I think they should start a new series that's even more realistic. What it would REALLY be like if two parents got married and each had 3 kids moving into one house. It would be a poopstorm. I would watch it.
