PWHL Players Make Every Salary Public, From $37,132 to $126,090

For the first time in PWHL history, the league’s individual player salaries are public.

On Tuesday, the PWHL’s Players Association website published a “player salary guide,” with the annual compensation for each of the league’s 194 players as of April 12. Salaries range from a minimum of $37,131.50 earned by 16 players, to a maximum of $126,090 earned by a single player.

According to Front Office Sports calculations, the average salary for a PWHL player is $57,206.55, while the median is $49,000. The PWHLPA has yet to confirm these numbers with FOS. The figures indicate that only 66 of the 194 players (34%) are making $60,000 or more.

Ottawa forward Emily Clark, who spent the league’s three-season history with the Charge, is the single-highest-paid player in the PWHL. Nine other players earn more than six figures, including Boston captain Megan Keller ($105,000), Seattle captain Hilary Knight ($106,090) and Montreal captain Marie-Philip Poulin ($110,216).

Other notable salaries include the $90,500 per year earned by New York’s Kristýna Kaltounková, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 PWHL Draft. There’s a big disparity in the rookie contracts, however—No. 2 pick Haley Winn of the Fleet earns just $60,000 a year.
