[edit] Some Junior Leagues are considered "Professional"
Current revision by Mr Pyles: corrected opening paragraph(junior isn't 'pro' )
Junior, particulary Canadian "Major Junior" is considered "professional" by the NCAA for instance. I'm not sure of where the Teepees were at the time, but according to several biographies, he was playing "pro" hockey. --Jleous 07:05, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Major Junior players here in Canada do not receive a salary for playing. They get their meals and living arrangements paid for. Plus they receive a modest weekly 'living allowance', but do not have to claim it as income. The 'pro' mentioned in Crozier bios refers to his years spent with the Buffalo Bisons and Pittsburgh Hornets in the AHL. And the Sault Ste. Marie Thunderbirds of the EPHL. He spent 3 years in total in those 2 leagues before moving up to the NHL Mr Pyles
