Will he? If he plays 4-5 years of AHL hockey at an average salary (say similar to someone like Ferland) he'd make a whopping $67,500 per year. His tuition alone for 2 years at BC would be more than a years salary. Add in all of the other things that full athletic scholarships cover and you're looking at 2 years or more of AHL salary to cover the rest of that education. People have a very misguided sense of how much non-NHL players actually make.
