Article: Claire Thompson Has Pursued Her Dreams From Med School To the Hockey Arena


Recommended Posts

Thank you for the article.  Jesus, med school or pro-sport.

We were season ticket holders last year to the PWHL, but could not make it work this year and due to some health shit could not make many games.  Please keep the Frost articles coming.

Salary for Orthopedic Surgeon in Minneapolis: >$300k

PWHL does not disclose salary, however, their CBA states min contract = $35k with teams average salary not to exceed $55k.

Orthopedics (especially surgery) is a competitive field, assuming she matches into an ortho residency program, she's looking at 4 years of med school, 1 intern year, and 5 of residency to reach that salary.

I think that goes to show how special of a person it takes, at this time, to pursue the PWHL path.
