Between $1 and $500 (very rare) a week.

There are 191 American players in the NHL.
The smallest city of the American Hockey League is Rosemont, IL where the Chicago Wolves call home. The population of Rosemont, IL is 4,224. However they are not the smallest metro area as they fall...
Whatever teams are in 4th 3rd 2nd or 1st place 5th if necessary in a division makes the playoffs.
