Only a tiny fraction of prospective NHLers make it. And the rest are left with virtually nothing to show for their thousands of hours of dedication. And given the enormous opportunity costs, they're actually further behind some schmuck who drifted through high school and college and got a random diploma from Mount Royal College.

Except that players that don't quite make it have the experience necessary to be a great employee for so many fields of work. Years of showing dedication, hard work and experience working in a team. Plus so many options now give you chances to use your hockey to get a degree, even if it's a random diploma from MRU.
