What is Sean Avery’s Net Worth and Salary?
Sean Avery is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who has a net worth of $8 million. He played for four different NHL teams between 2001 and 2012, and became notorious for his frequently uncouth behavior both on and off the ice. Since retiring from ice hockey, Avery has worked as a model, actor, and restaurateur.
Contracts & Career Earnings
Sean Avery earned approximately $20.2 million during his NHL career, which adjusts to about $29.9 million in today’s dollars . His most lucrative contract was a four-year, $15.5 million deal signed with the Dallas Stars in 2008, averaging $3.875 million annually.
Early Life and Education
Sean Avery was born on April 10, 1980 in North York, Ontario, Canada to teachers Marlene and Al. Raised with his younger brother Scott in Pickering, he attended Dunbarton High School.
Career Beginnings, 1996-2001
After playing some seasons of junior ice hockey with the Ontario Hockey League’s Owen Sound Platers and Kingston Frontenacs, Avery signed with the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings as a free agent in 1999. However, he played one more season in the OHL before he turned professional with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks of the American Hockey League in 2000. Avery continued playing with the Mighty Ducks for the first half of the 2001-02 season.
Detroit Red Wings
Avery made his NHL debut with the Red Wings midway through the 2001-02 season. He played in 36 games as the team went on to win the Stanley Cup. However, Avery did not appear in the playoffs, nor did he play enough games during the season to get his name engraved on the Cup. He remained with the Red Wings for the first half of the 2002-03 season before he was traded.
Los Angeles Kings and NHL Lockout
Avery was traded to the Los Angeles Kings midway through the 2002-03 season. He had his first full season with the team in 2003-04, when he recorded nine goals and 19 assists in 76 games. Avery also led the league in penalty minutes, with 261. While the NHL was on lockout in 2004-05, Avery played with the Lahti Pelicans of the Finnish Elite League and the Motor City Mechanics of the United Hockey League. With the Mechanics, he became the first player in team history to score two hat tricks in a single season.
The NHL returned for the 2005-06 season, and Avery once again led the league in penalty minutes, this time with 257. He got into trouble late in the season when he refused to participate in a practice drill, causing the Kings to suspend him for the final three games of the season. However, the team still re-signed him for another season, only part of which he played before he was traded.

In early February in 2007, Avery was traded to the New York Rangers. He helped the team finish the season strong, as he scored 20 points in 29 games to secure the Rangers a playoff berth. The team ultimately fell to the Buffalo Sabres in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Avery helped the Rangers make it back to the playoffs in 2008, where they once again lost in the Conference Semifinals.

In 2008, Avery spent the summer as an intern at Vogue magazine. The following year, he collaborated with the men’s fashion label Commonwealth Utilities on a clothing line for New York Fashion Week.

He also did modeling during this time, serving as the face of Hickey Freeman’s spring/summer ad campaign. In 2013, Avery modeled for the denim brand 7 for All Mankind.
Avery has also acted on film and television. In 2005, he portrayed Rangers defenseman Bob Dill in the Maurice Richard biopic “The Rocket.” Avery later had brief parts in the films “Patriots Day,” “Mile 22,” “Spree,” “Tenet,” “Amsterdam,” and “Oppenheimer.” On television, he appeared in episodes of “MADtv,” “Kevin Can F**k Himself,” “Special Ops: Lioness,” and “Shoresy.” Avery also competed on the 18th season of “Dancing with the Stars,” where he and his professional dance partner Karina Smirnoff were eliminated second.
