The National Hockey League Players’ Association released a report on Monday that blamed bad teaching practices by NHL teams and other organizations on the high cost of attending college.
The report found that players who are not attending college have a 2.6-percent increase in life chances, while those who attend college have an additional 2.2 percent.
The report found, “the cost of attendance at the college level was almost twice as high as the cost of college attendance for students who do not attend college.”
The cost of higher education is rising rapidly, but the report’s authors said the average student attending a four-year public college costs $26,500, or about $400,000.
While the report doesn’t give a specific figure for the cost, it is estimated that students who attend colleges at four- to five-year levels will have an increased likelihood of graduating and making a living wage.
“There are a lot of questions about why college costs are so high,” NHLPA Executive Director Mike Gillis said.
“The report does give some of the answers, but more work needs to be done on that.”
The report recommends that the NHL make significant changes to how college is taught, including increasing the number of college-ready players in the league.
In an interview, Gillis also said that players are not being paid enough for their work in the NHL.
The union, which represents more than 3,000 NHL players, wants a significant increase in the salaries of players, particularly the top players.
According to the report, the average salary of a player is $9,832.65 per year.
But the average college student earns just $11,082.73 per year, or less than half the salary of players.
The NHLPA also recommended that players be paid the minimum wage, which is $8.25 per hour.
A spokesperson for the league said that the union has not yet made a recommendation for salary changes, but that it would look at a number of possible proposals, including changing the size of the players union contract to include more members and raising the minimum salary.
“The NHL is committed to providing the best possible education for all players and fans,” the spokesperson said.
