Confirmed payouts via friend who is a player for a team in the minor or "semi pro" league The WOSHL (Canadian elite senior semi pro league in Ontario)
*PLEASE NOTE ONLY TOP TEAMS IN THIS LEAGUE PAY THERE PLAYERS ON REGULAR BASIS*
Former Pro players on top woshl teams (NHL and below) - up to $1500 monthly
Former high end junior players (CHL, OJHL) - $300-$500 monthly
Former junior player (Jr.B, Jr.C) (only applicable to a few teams such as tillsonburg and tilbury) - max $400 monthly
teams such as delhi, plattsville and alvinston do not pay on a regular basis. and teams such as Elora, Tillsonburg, Tillbury and Strathroy pay players the highest amounts and have some very elite players.
if I was to compare the WOSHL current top team (Tillsonburg) to an american pro league... you could argue Tillsonburg could compete in the SPHL quite comfortably.
source; not a good one but my best buddy is on the elora rocks and has the inside scoop on the league
