What are the odds of making pro hockey?
Not nhl, just entry level pro.
The odds of making it into an NHL feeder system (AHL, ECHL) or even an independent league (CHL, UHL, IHL) are extremely slim. They scout and pick their players based on the top junior programs in North America and Europe...so ultimately you would need to be one of the best players in a junior league to even have the opportunity to make one of those teams, and you'd have to be 20 or under in order to even be eligible to play on a junior team.

College Hockey: a Few Notes
College hockey is one of many sports wherein high school students apply to avail of an athletic scholarship. With an athletic scholarship, students get to play the sport they are talented in, while pursuing a college degree.
When hockey began to emerge as a popular sport in Canada, it went by no official name. It was instead referred to as Hurley, Wicket, Ricket and Break-Shins. The origin of the word hockey is in itself a contentious subject. There are claims that the word is a derivative of the French word hoquet, meaning “a shepherd's crook.” However, there is a story in the town of Windsor, Nova Scotia, regarding a certain Colonel Hockey, who used the game to keep his troops healthy and invigorated. It is said that the game soon adopted his name, since people referred to these military workouts as "Hockey's Game."
Hockey was considered an amateur sport until 1904. This was when the first professional hockey league was created. Interestingly, it was created in the United States, and it was called the International Pro Hockey League. Three years later, the National Hockey Association (NHA) was formed. However, World War I threw the entire hockey establishment into confusion, and the men in charge of the NHA suspended operations.
Some of the larger schools with top-notch college hockey programs do have large recruiting budgets, but most do not. An individual needs to let the college he wishes to attend know what he can do to improve their college hockey team.
The Internet has proven to be a useful venue for students aiming for an athletic scholarship. There are many websites and online forums wherein students and scouts can come together and interact. D1Athletes is an online community wherein student athletes and coaches alike can share and exchange information they need on college hockey teams. D1Athletes offers them a place to build an online presence and gain important public exposure.

how to face that your probally not going to make pro hockey ?
im a hguie hockey fane but t sucks that im probally not going to make pro hockey how to i get over that cause i wanna keep loving hockey but i dont wanna take all taht frustration of me not making and putting on my kids when i have them one day
Join recreation league when you get older. The main thing about hockey is love and passion. I love watching hockey and playing.
When you reach a certain age, you'll have to grip reality that you won't make pro. That's the hardest part in life and to swallow.
An old coach who was wise and raised me since I was little said to me.... if you know you're not going to make it in hockey, work hard in your school like you did for hockey. Was one of the best advice given to me during that coming to grip to reality.
Just have fun playing ball hockey, street hockey or ice hockey. It's all about having fun and love for the game.

How much do semi pro hockey players usually earn?
the salary cap floor for all NHL players is .45mil. For minor league players it all depends. A good prospect that will probably be a 30 goal scorer in the NHL in a couple years can earn around .5 mil. It really all depends on the player, and how much of an asset he is to the team he plays for or the pro team's future.
