Calculating the costs of outfitting an NHL player — it’s expensive
Vegas Golden Knights equipment manager details his job, eager to start with expansion franchise
An average NHL hockey stick costs $185, and players go through 60 to 125
sticks a year, he said. That’s as much as $23,125 in hockey sticks for
one player.
Skates, which cost $700 per pair, are equally customizable.
All of the pads on an NHL player add up to about $1,200, and with
replacements it costs a team about $21,000 per year to outfit a skater.
Goalies are even pricier, with teams paying $36,000 per season to keep
them suited up.

Inside The Leno Garage
7 Surprising Things We Learned From Our Visit to Jay Leno's Garage
5. The Automobilia
5. The Automobilia
- While much attention has been given to Leno's incredible collection of cars and motorcycles, the amount of accompanying memorabilia and other artifacts is equally impressive. There are the model cars and vintage ads, the automotive signage he's sourced from all over, along with beautiful hand-painted art that hangs on the walls. Even without the vehicles themselves the art, memorabilia and collectibles make the place a heaven for anyone who loves cars.
- Given his obsession for all things automotive and his ever-growing collection, you might think Jay Leno is one of those guys constantly searching online or attending high profile auctions to find his next car. But that's usually not the case. He says he actually finds most of his cars by word of mouth, often from "fellow old guys" who no longer have the means to take care of their car. And rather than put it on the market, they offer the car to Jay knowing that he'll give it the care and appreciation it needs and also that he won't flip it for profit. In fact, Jay Leno doesn't sell any of his cars, despite the fact that most of them are now worth much, much more than when he first acquired them.
