An AHL career is certainly something to be proud of but you are not going to make enough money to retire on. I would think some guys may want to start their second career sooner, for lots of reasons.
I had the opportunity to see two guys from the Miracle on Ice team (Eruzione, Craig) on the motivational speaker circuit. Eruzione even said if he shoots the puck two inches to the left he is selling cars for a living and we wouldn't be listening to him right now. Insightful comment but didn't exactly help his credibility as a speaker.
