I have earned more from the NHL to Wayne Gretzky with a $ 166 million salary never go
The life of a commissioner of a professional sports league can be challenging.
But it can also be rewarding.
Everyone knows who Roger Goodell and Adam Silver.
Rob also manifested.
But too many people don’t know who’s curator El is.
And that would be Gary Bettman.
And Bettman, being hockeyThe main commander has paid beautifully.
He has been the NHL’s curator since 1993 and has collected about $ 166 million from the League.
Skate to beat all the players who ever put it.
The highest player paid for all time?
Alex Ovechkin was almost 162 million in $ 162 million, and then Sidney Crosby almost 156 million dollars.
Great, Wayne Gretzky won $ 46 million across his career.
Bettman has hit all.
It is a great part of its $ 9.5 million wage for its annual wage, when he increased his work more than 30 years ago.
When the Women’s Football League (NWSL) Jessica Berman worked at the NHL, he had a great praise for Bettman, not only as a commissioner.
“He has made a master of work balancing the needs of a wide group about challenges and opportunities,” Berman said by NHL.com.
“With the help of an incredible group, Gary convinces the increase in League Enterprise Value to benefit everyone, including players and fans.
“The base of this is confident that coherence, transparency, communication and integrity is built.”
“I admire his hobby and love,” he said Winnipeg Jets Kevin Cheveldayoff General Manager said.
“It seems lucky to see and love that passion at our meetings.
“Gary has a unique ability to follow the past in honor, at the same time, he understands that the game is always evolving.
“It has shown a huge approach to how to change it together.”
Bettman has helped growing the sport, brings expansion clubs, negotiating massive television offers, and has generally been a great positive for the hockey game.
It’s worth every penny of $ 166 million.
