What Kind Of Health Insurance Do Professional Hockey Players Have? 
That is a great question ! The Pro players generally have health insurance through plans set up by the player 's union . The Clubs themselves will have policies for non-playing personnel , and may offer as contract stipulations/bonus 's some level of coverage for the players , but as a rule it is done through the player 's union . In some cases the team may cover the minor league players , -LRB- some MLB teams do this also -RRB- in others it 's the union , depending upon contracts , playing time in the big leagues , etc. . As you might imagine , due to the increased risks of playing contact sports , the benefits and coverage will be greater than what the average health policy would be . I 'm certain that the Player 's Union Rep or the specific team 's HR person could give you specifics , should you ask . I appreciate your question though , and you for asking it ! Thanks !
