Tax Havens Fuel NHL Success | Colorado Avalanche News

NHL teams in tax-free states like Florida, Texas, and Nevada are reaping huge financial benefits—players keep more of their paychecks, giving these squads a competitive edge. With the salary cap flat for years, every dollar counts, and low-tax locales have fueled playoff runs and Stanley Cup wins. While player contracts make fixing this tough, new data shows players in Colorado still pay nearly 41% in taxes—higher than many Canadian and Northeast teams but lower than top-heavy states like California and New York. Complicating things further, “jock taxes” hit players on every game, no matter where they’re based. Since 2020, low-tax teams have won five Cups and made nine finals—making this debate hotter than ever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
