From TSN,
Three years after the league shut down amid concerns of skyrocketing salaries, the average NHL player is now making more than pre-lockout levels.
Sources tell TSN the average salary for NHL players this season was $1,906,793, an increase of more than 11% over last year ($1,708,607).
Not surprisingly, league revenues have also increased by close to $600 million since the lockout, translating into escalating salaries.
