FC Barcelona has a team.
Amateur though, so no salary to speak of.
Imports still get paid there though. Lithuanian guy played for the bottom team of the Spanish league and he said he was still making enough money to live on it, so to say. He and the other import from Finland shared the apartment provided by the club. So even at that level, you can live off playing hockey if you really want to.Amateur though, so no salary to speak of.
That is true enough but most people just don't pursue a hockey career at all if they don't feel it will provide them for the future. And those who play in the 3rd league of Swedish hockey mostly treat it as a jump board into a better league that will actually pay. If you choose to play in Spain it does nothing to your CV even if you score 3 PPG.True. But honestly, if I wasn't good enough to play in a leauge where I made so much money that I could save for the future I would rather play in a nice city/country where I maybe also needed a part time extra gig on the side instead of playing in a leauge where you break even but is rather boring. I mean, playing in a 3rd leauge in Sweden/Finland in a small town with 5000 inhabitants. What will you do when not playing hockey?
If you manage to find a club in a bigger city and maybe a nice climate (by your preference) that maybe are willing for your accommodation, and then work part time to get pocket money I think you will have a better experience.

FC Barcelona has a team. Wouldn't it be cool to play for the same club as Messi?
