Pro player endorsements

[ibeck 38]

I've always been curious but have never found the answer. Does anyone know how much players get for the following options?

-"Cover athletes" like the players who appear in ads like the ones at the bauer pro camp and wear head to toe (helmet, gloves,sticks,gloves,skates)

-Gloves/Stick deals? (Easton had something like this in the past)

-Players who have their names on retail curves

-Any other endorsements options I may have missed speaking gear wise though (no gatorade, biosteel etc...)

Thanks

Totally dependent on player and company..

Crosby’s new deal with Reebok is said to be worth almost $10 million over the next seven years. Crosby’s agent, Pat Brisson, would not discuss the financial aspect of the deal and said it is not completed yet, “but things are going in the right direction.”

Sources say the deal is for between five and seven years and will pay him $1.4 million a season. That would make Crosby easily the highest-paid player ever in terms of endorsements. Considering Crosby also has endorsement deals with Bell, Tim Hortons and Gatorade, it’s guaranteed the new deal would pay him in endorsements alone more than the NHL’s average salary of $2.1 million.
