A career in hockey brings incredible opportunities, but it also creates financial challenges that most advisors simply do not understand:
- Unpredictable income and short careers – Contracts can be big, but they are rarely guaranteed for long. Injuries, trades, or retirement can cut income overnight.
- Confusing NHL pension and escrow rules – Without planning, escrow deductions and pension decisions can leave millions on the table.
- Cross-border tax headaches – Playing in both Canada and the U.S. means paying tax in multiple jurisdictions, often leading to double taxation if not handled properly.
- Too many advisors, not enough coordination – Agents, accountants, and lawyers rarely talk to each other, leaving players stuck in the middle.
- Everyday money stress – From bill payments to payroll for staff, many players are forced to manage details that take away from their careers and families.
