PHF players juggle hockey, jobs, life
Canadians make up 44 per cent of Premier Hockey Federation players this season, with two of seven teams in the women’s league based north of the border.
In addition to her salary, the 25-year-old goaltender from Amherst, N.S., was given $5,000 for moving expenses to Toronto. “I opted to disclose my salary. We’re a professional league and I think it helps other players negotiate their own contracts,” Jackson said.Jackson sleeps in, stretches and likes a breakfast of eggs, toast and bacon to be her pregame meal four hours before an afternoon home game.
“I think the PHF as a whole has changed its laws a little bit since I did become pregnant,” Stacey said. Stacey works through her lunch to pick Kodah up early and spend time with him. Her mom puts Kodah to bed when Stacey heads to the arena for a skate and training from 6:45 p.m. to 9:30. After a Saturday pregame meal and meeting at the hotel, the team heads to the rink for an afternoon game.
Twice a week in the afternoons, Gardiner heads to her other job as head coach of Havergal College, which is a private women’s school in Toronto, for games or practices at 2:30 p.m.
