Overview
- The PWHL Players Association published a Player Salary Guide on Tuesday, May 26, listing base salaries as of April 12 for all 194 players.
- Reported base pay ranges from a league minimum of $37,131.50 to a top salary of $126,090, with 97 players earning under $50,000 and roughly 10 players on six-figure contracts.
- Ottawa Charge forward Emily Clark is the highest-paid player at $126,090 and other top earners include Sarah Fillier, Brianne Jenner, Abby Roque, and Marie-Philip Poulin.
- The figures cover base salary only and do not include bonuses, housing stipends, or other pay; the 2023 CBA remains in force through July 2031 and sets the minimum and a team-average target but no individual salary cap.
- Union leaders say the public list gives players leverage in negotiations and transparency for fans, and the disclosure is likely to affect contract talks, player movement, and team construction as four expansion franchises join next season.
