Russian Yakovenko said that in Switzerland, hockey players get a little more than ordinary people
Russian hockey player Alexander Yakovenko, who plays for the Swiss Biel, spoke about the level of salaries in the local championship. It is reported by Sport24.
According to him, hockey players risk their health, but get a little more than those who work in Switzerland in a regular job. Yakovenko noted that prices in the country are higher than in Russia.
The player also commented on the information, according to which the Swiss league players earn 200-300 thousand dollars a year. “No one, of course, tells how much he gets. But somewhere, maybe. Close to the truth. I can talk about myself: my salary is approximately in this range, ”said Yakovenko.
The 24-year-old player from 2014 to 2015 was in the Chelyabinsk Traktor system. This season, the Russian defender has a +23 utility rating, which is the best result in the league.
