Do Most Players in the National Hockey League NHL Have a College Degree or Higher?

The National Hockey League (NHL) is the top professional hockey league in the world. Most players in the NHL are not college graduates. Only about 10% to 15% of NHL players have a college degree or higher. This is because most NHL players begin playing hockey at a young age and focus on their hockey careers rather than academic pursuits.

Of the NHL players who do have college degrees, most earned their degrees in fields related to sports, such as sports management or exercise science. However, some NHL players have degrees in other fields, such as business, law, or medicine.

There are several reasons why most NHL players do not have college degrees. First, many NHL players start playing hockey at a young age and focus on their hockey development rather than their education. Second, the NHL draft is held each year after the completion of high school, so many players are eligible to enter the NHL without completing college. Third, the NHL offers players a lucrative career path, so many players choose to focus on hockey rather than pursue a college degree.
