Yes, I understand that when you are an apprentice for a trade or a professional career you are almost always guaranteed a successful lifetime job. In major junior only about 5% are likely to make a buck out of hockey as a professional career. The other 95% are out of luck and if they do not have a backup planned they are out of luck as far as a good paying job. Also, unlike a normal apprentice job there is a much greater risk of injuries such as concussions, blown out knees and broken bones that can have life altering consequences. Enjoy.
