The fact that the NHL is holding ground with TV revenue is a huge win. And yes, I do expect tickets, food prices, merchandise prices to rise.
Even if they don't as Getbak explained, the system is more complicated and we are in a mandated holding pattern. Revenues in 2022/23 were the highest ever at 5.7 billion, which is 300 million higher than the next highest year, 2021/2022. The highest pre-pandemic revenues was $5.09 billion in 2018/19.
So yes, NHL revenues are already way up. We will likely see them going up as the lingering effects of the pandemic finally dissipate. |
So in 4 years the players share went up by 300 million, for total cap.
In 18/19 the players would have had 2.55 billion divided by 31 teams for about 82 million a team. 4 years later they would have had 2.85 billion divided by 32 teams or about 89 million a team. About an 8.5% increase over 4 years, or about 2% a year.
