Can you play Pro Hockey in Europe?
Just seen so many Emails and messages and will try to give everyone an idea of what teams are looking for in Europe.
Tier 3 Players – USPHL – EHL – NA3HL or Junior B leagues in Canada your chances of playing for money in Europe is basically zero unless you are from Europe or have a passport in Germany or Switzerland etc. Without a passport it doesn’t matter if you had 200 points playing in the USPHL for example.
Tier 2 Junior Players – Most Canadian leagues – NAHL – NCDC your chances of playing and making money in Europe are very very low unless once again you have a passport or not considered an import player. Even with a passport if you can make $1500.00 a month would be a miracle.
Tier 1 Junior Players – CHL in Canada and USHL you could perhaps play in a lower league in Sweden – Finland – Norway – UK – Austria – Germany etc. but once again maybe make $2000.00 per month.
USPORTS – NCAA D1 – Graduating players with about half a point or more per game will have a chance to play in the UK and start making around 500 – 600 pounds net per week.
ECHL – Top ECHL players could starting to make around 30,000 Euros per year to as high as maybe 40,000 Euro per year.
AHL – Players that are close to half a point to a point a game can play in Germany DEL1 – Sweden SHL – Finland Liiga – Czech – Switzerland – KHL and could make anywhere from 80,000 Euro to 750,000 USD per year.
Of course some expectations to these rules but as you can see you really need to be a ECHL or AHL player to advance to a top end team in Europe.
