John’s Answer
With over 500 player salaries surveyed, it is clear that the average NHL salary is around $4 Million, and that this comes with a high degree of variance. Since the rule was put in place that players could only get around $14 Million salaries, there are quite a few that still get massive salaries as compared to other players. One prime example of this is the salary of Jonathan Toews, a Chicago Blackhawks player who signed a deal which gets his salary to around $10.5 Million, while near the bottom of the stack, Alex Goligoski of the Arizona Coyotes makes around $547,500 a year. This amounts to a difference in salary that what Toews makes in one year would take Goligoski an entire career to make. That being said, it would take the average household 10 years to make as much as Goligoski, assuming a two person household. If this makes you think “I could learn to skate and take a hockey puck to the face”, read on to see how one can become an NHL player.
In regional clubs in the US, an Ice Hockey in your area makes on average $34,003 per year, or $1,868 (5%) less than the national average annual salary of $35,871. Virginia ranks number 24 out of 50 states nationwide for Ice Hockey salaries.
This should give you an idea.

Hey Sandeep
I think John's answer is pretty much on the spot. Just note as of the 2018-2019 season there where 999 players in the NHL. As you know players in the NHL are from all over the world. So odds of getting in the NHL are very slim.
But I know you can do it.... :)
Good Luck !!!
