We have it on very good and reliable authority that the following IIHF freelancers, based in Czechia :

• Filip NEKOA
• Ondrej KALAT
• Simona KRALOVA

are being paid, each, CHF 6000.00 / Month. That is gross ... ha ha ha ha !!!! literrally

Now this is just a number which does not really mean anything unless you put it in some sort of perspective.
Let us try to do that...

• National average salary in Czechia is : CHF 1800.00/month, give or take a few.

so these people are being paid more than 3 times the national average Czech salary.

One may wonder why the IIHF is being so generous with these 3 free-lancer they are hiring.
why would you pay someone, living in a country, a salary which is more than 3 times the average salary of the country they live in ????

that would be a valid and honest question, wouldn'it ?

• One reason could be that their hiring manager (Christian PHILLIPP, former IIHF director) is a very good buddy of these people.
• Another reason could be that the chairman of the IIHF finance committee is Peter BRIZA ... who happens to be ... Czech ... ha ha ha ha ha.

One may also wonder if the IIHF has the same salary policy towards other free-lancers they are contracting ...

it would also be interesting to know how this generous salary compares with the salary of IIHF enmployees.

anyhoo ...
