Modern Use of the Ninth Amendment. Today, the Ninth Amendment is used mainly to stop the government from expanding their power rather than just limiting their power. Sometimes, courts try to use the Ninth Amendment as a way to provide and enforce rights that are not actually talked about in the Constitution.
Top NHL officials now cap out at a maximum salary of around $300,000, while players earn a league minimum of over $500,000. Two fourth-line thugs can pound away at each other for a combined income of at least a million dollars, while the linesmen â earning significantly less â are left to jump in and break it up.
But compared to the players, referees are earning less than minimum wage. The average NHL player salary in 1970 was $18,000; Buffey was making $12,000 two years earlier as an official.The average player salary in 2011-12 was $2.4 million in the NHL ... so yeah, there's a larger disparity between the players and those officiating them now than in 1968.he referees make between $110,000 to $255,000 each year. The linesmen earn between $70,000 to $162,000 per year. The average pay for a referee is between $115,000 to $255,000 each year.
