ShakyWalton Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 CheesyI agree, obviously set up before the game..if that happened in the NHL there would be some hefty suspensions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchable Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 First I've heard of this "FHL", and now I know why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 First I've heard of this "FHL", and now I know why...Its a 4 team league...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Hockey_League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchable Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Its a 4 team league...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Hockey_LeagueAs of December 2010 the league has a salary cap of $5,050 per week. The roster is limited to 20 players for the first 6 games and 17 thereafter.So I'm guessing these guys all have other full-time jobs? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 So I'm guessing these guys all have other full-time jobs? lolIt looks like a glorified beer league..although I guess the better players can make about 21k a month,,I could live on that..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchable Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It looks like a glorified beer league..although I guess the better players can make about 21k a month,,I could live on that..lolIs it $5k/week per player or total? If it's per player that's not bad.But yes, it does look like a glorified beer league. But I wonder how many fans they get out to games... to justify travel costs and whatnot. No wonder so many of their teams fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder how many fans they get out to games... to justify travel costs and whatnot. No wonder so many of their teams fold.You could be right...250 week on average for players is pretty bad,,I bet their games are on weekends as to not interfere with jobs.,..maybe kind of like the WLa...where they line players up with jobs,,,I know half the Salmonbellies end up in the Fire Department.

Down by the River Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Has to be team salary per week. Most AHL guys don't make that kind of coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchable Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Still, I wouldn't mind getting paid $250/week to play hockey instead of paying ~$800/season Heck I'd even hide a beer or two in my equipment if it helped get more fans in the seats.
