I am kind of curious how much they actually take at the end of the day. Do they still get taxed crazy and file income taxes too?

Solid game. Luu made some spectacular saves./ | Assuming you were leaving, why do people not stay until the end of the game (provided it's not a stinker)? Does it really save you that much time? Quote:

Also, note that an athlete isn't going to be working to 65 like most regular folks will. Their "big money" time period is really from the time they score their major league contract (say 18-20 years old) to probably early 30's (or if you're really good at what you do, your 40's) That's really only a span of realistically 15-20 years of work to save for a lifetime. As long as they're not crazy with their money, they should be able to live comfortably, even if they only get paid league minimum.

It does save a lot of time if you leave even 2 mins early and parked somewhere near GM place.
I have never leave a min early in my life even I know it's a losing game, I personally think leaving early is stupid and it is also rude for the people who wanted to enjoy the last 30 second of the game and you're blocking their view.

I'm so cheap, I must milk every millisecond of the game. I wish eery game I go to ends up in shootout. And a long one too that cycles through the entire team.

| I work there part time so I was trying to get somewhere. I work there because I get to watch the games so as a fan I wouldn't leave early. I understand though why people leave early. The parking lots, sky trains, streets around GM Place can become a gongshow. I would stay until the end though. Quote:

It's funny. I never understood why people left early in one goal games. Then when the Canucks would score, they would want to come back.

Nope, it's not their cars. It's a photoshoot for Empire car club.
And on the subject of taxes....athletes spread their income over many years to save on paying massive taxes but the shitty part for all professional athletes is the taxes they have to pay when they play out of province/state. The more you make, the more you have to pay.

All those salaries are tax free.
I think Florida is the same, or similar when it comes to state taxes on income.
