Can you make a decent living playing minors/second tier league

[MadSquabbles500]

It's actually £486k.
Exchange rate is $1.35 for £1.
So about $656,100 a year. Not bad.

My god, it is not bad indeed.

that's not fair, even second and third tier sports are still professional sports, mma is semi-pro.

WHL, and OHL are major juniors. They dont get paid. They do get to live with a "billet" family for free. The billet families get paid to take care of the player. They also have to go to school if they that age. I hear they get some kind of stipend at the end of their careers though.

The US has versions of this Major Junior in the USHL, and NAHL. But USHL, and NAHL can still play college hockey. Apparently WHL, OHL, QMJHL players cannot participate in American NCAA sports.

AHL, and ECHL players are pros. They have agents, sign contracts, and get paid to play. They also have their own union.

Yes but so what. You still have to pay for personal living expenses. They may have some sort of subsidized housing.

Arent most AHL players under contract with NHL team though?

Play for a number of years.

Get a job in the big leagues as a scout, coach, or manager.

Seems like a pretty rough life full of rides on bad buses and stays in seedy motels from what I've seen.
