With the NWHL releasing salary info earlier today, I was curious about how much players will likely make off of the 15% of jersey sales going to players. I did a little back-of-envelop math, and here's the breakdown. At $119.00 per jersey, 15% works out to about 17.85 per sale.
Here's a quick breakdown on how, Pride defender Marissa Gedman can supplement the $10,000 she's making playing hockey this season:
| To earn | Sell this many jerseys |
|---|---|
| $17.85 | 1 |
| $100.00 | 6 |
| $200.00 | 11 |
| $300.00 | 17 |
| $400.00 | 22 |
| $500.00 | 28 |
| $750.00 | 42 |
| $1,000.00 | 56 |
| $1,785.00 | 100 |
Nobody's playing in the NWHL this year to get rich, so I'll go ahead and say this is pretty neat. It certainly rewards players for advertising jersey sales for the league. I know I'm getting one. Gotta have something to wear to the season opener on November 22nd, after all!
