How much does a pro ice hockey goalie make a year?

Question

the subject came up about a friend going pro goalie and i was wondering what the (both) minimum and maximum a pro ice hockey goalie could make in 1 season. thanks for the help =)

Answer 1

any where from 400,000 to 7.7 million

Answer 2

1's make over 1,000,000 easily, they wouldn't pay under 400,000 I think.

Answer 3

I'm not sure about the maximum, but the minimum is somewhere around $400,000 to $450,000 per year.  

Answer 4

depends on how good you are. Evgeni Nabokov makes of 5million. Alot of the goalies who aren't good enough to start in the NHL make under 1million normally.

Answer 5

Like a first year goalie would probably make around $400,000 - $1.5 million. But if they have experience like Roberto Luongo who's making like $7 million. But it all depends on how good you are and how desperate the team is for a good goalie.

Answer 6

Currently for the upcoming 08-09 NHL season, Mikka Kiprusoff  (Calgary) will make 8.5 million dollars. Dallas Stars backup goalie, Stephan Tobias will make 485,000 dollars. These are salary numbers, not cap numbers.

Answer 7

Depends on your ability, the league, team ownership, what your agent (if you have one) can negotiate for you, if you have any sponsorship contracts .. I don't know the min. and max. though sorry
