We\u2019ve adjusted them upwards to represent further gains by the player association since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also know that each club has a CAN$40,630 bonus pool that can be used to pay players more than the league maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors don\u2019t have to pay out the full CAN$40K.

Their second year brings an increased contract of $20-$28K.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The minimum for veterans is $25K. The maximum base contract for the most valued veterans is $50K.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The average salary across the Warriors\u2019 playing roster is CAN$33,760K.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the average, the above numbers are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars. The raw numbers are in the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The figures we\u2019ve listed may seem low for hard-working athletes. But bear in mind that the NLL season is about six months long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve included the pro-rata monthly equivalent in the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Status<\/td><td>Annual (CAN$)<\/td><td>Monthly (CAN$)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rookies<\/td><td>16,949<\/td><td>2,825<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Second-year minimum<\/td><td>20,250<\/td><td>3,375<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Second-year maximum<\/td><td>27,614<\/td><td>4,602<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Veteran minimum<\/td><td>25,180<\/td><td>4,197<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Veteran maximum<\/td><td>50,031<\/td><td>8,338<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Franchise Tag Exception<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one exception where a player\u2019s base contract can be above the maximum we specified above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every club can offer what\u2019s known as a franchise tag to one player per season. This comes with a one-year contract of about CAN$62,500 for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To my knowledge, the Vancouver Warriors haven\u2019t applied a franchise tag this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the summary of all the tiers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Vancouver_Warriors_Players_Are_The_Top_Earners\"><\/span>Which Vancouver Warriors Players Are The Top Earners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/greatsportsdome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/raining-money.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greatsportsdome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/raining-money.jpg 640w, https:\/\/greatsportsdome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/raining-money-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Shawn Evans is a seasoned veteran who became a free agent in the summer of 2022. He has twice been awarded MVP in the NLL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who thought he must be slowing down at age thirty-six got it wrong. Evans had a storming Mann Cup with the Peterborough Lakers and was key to them taking the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There would have been plenty of NLL teams looking to sign him, but the Warriors got their man. We expect that his base contract is at the maximum salary of just over CAN$50K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also expect the club used the bonus pool to top up his earnings by an extra two to three thousand dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, who else is a top earner at the Warriors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keegan Bal is another veteran forward who signed a one-year contract before the start of the new season. We expect Keegan to be at the top end of the veteran\u2019s tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forwards reap the glory but they don\u2019t reap all the rewards. Brett Mydske is a key defenseman who is also at the maximum veteran salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Brett signed a two-year deal in August 2022. With the extra security of a two-year term, we think that the club didn\u2019t have to tip into the bonus pool to retain his signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Warriors_Players_Earn_The_Least\"><\/span>Which Warriors Players Earn The Least?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vancouver Warriors grabbed Reid Bowering as the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> overall selection in the 2020 draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the pandemic, the 2021\/22 season was his rookie season. And boy, what a season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bowering\u2019s outstanding efforts earned him a nomination for Transition Player Of The Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite that, his salary was just under CAN$17K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This season is his second, and his base contract could jump by over $10K. We expect him to be earning about $24K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Employment_Inside_And_Outside_The_Lacrosse_World\"><\/span>Other Employment Inside And Outside The Lacrosse World<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NLL players are employed by their franchise for about six months of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also don\u2019t train full-time during the season.
