A typical SPHL player makes between $300 and $325 a week — teams face a salary cap of $5,600 a week, Bechard said — but apartment rent is covered by the teams, as are most meals.

Some teams may not be spending the full $5600 each week. Some thoughts however are:
1) if a team carries the max allowable players (19) the max average salary each player can make is $295.
2) If they carry only 18 players the max average salary would be $311.
With the numbers above, some player personnel may be in the $450 to $600 range which will require many players to be in the $250 range. If I am not mistaken, the league has a minimum weekly salary of $250 per player.
