Ranking third on the list of professional sports that pay athletes the highest amounts, it’s fair to say that the National Hockey League players earn a hefty chunk of cash to spend how they please. However, most are wise enough and enlist the services of a financial consultant early enough and the result is often property investment. The best of the best stay in the most luxurious mansions and some of their enormous houses even qualify to be considered modern-day castles. We’ve compiled a list of some of the hockey players living in high-end abodes at equally enviable addresses.

Mike Modano – Dallas – $1.925 million

Mike Modano’s $1.925-million former bachelor pad valued is truly an extravagant sight to behold. The retired ice hockey pro ended up selling it to Canadian ice hockey player Tyler Seguin after the property had been in the market for nearly a year. The luxury-laden 0.433-acre home features both hand-scraped ad sleek wood floors, an oversized kitchen, two staircases, a temp-controlled wine closet, fabulous formals, a grand master bedroom, and three bedroom suites. The house also stands out because it has a game room all decked out with a wet bar, a gazebo with a cozy brick fireplace, a putting green on the backyard, and a magnificently gorgeous saltwater pool.

Patrick Kane – New York – $3.2 million

Blackhawks star Patrick Kane listed his 5,878-square-foot Hamburg mansion for $3.2 million. He had bought the 5-bedroom house for $2.85 million in 2012 and he probably put in as much as half a million on improvements. The mansion description includes an in-ground pool, a giant patio, a boat launch, and boathouse, and a basketball court. It contains more gems inside like a home theater, sauna, and steam room. Kane also had a 2,076-square-foot two-bedroom pad at the Trump International Hotel and Tower that he had bought for $2.06 million in 2008. In July 2016, he also listed his Chicago unit for $2.15 million.

Chris Chelios – Bloomfield Hills, Michigan – $3.7 million

As a 2013 Hockey Hall of Famer, Chris Chelios proudly owned a 10,000-square-foot Bloomfield Hills home. Anyone interested in buying should have $3.7 million in the bank. The sale description of the house sitting on a 1.21-acre lot divulged that it had been built in 2004. It has six bedrooms with seven bathrooms and an outdoor pool situated adjacent to the guest house. Entertainment is the focal point of the mansion with open living spaces and a full bar in the family room. The boardroom is one of its standout features for its sheer size along with the kitchen that has serving spaces, as well as, an eat-in space for daily gatherings.

Alexander Ovechkin – Virginia – $4.2 million

Endearingly nicknamed “Ovi” or “the Great Eight,” Alexander is a Russian ice hockey captain and winger. In his career, Ovechkin has repped Russia at three Olympics and eleven World Championships. In 2018, alongside the Washington Capitals, he won his first Stanley Cup and also clinched the MVP title and the Stanley Cup playoffs. With such a successful year, the captain/winger purchased a $4.2-million, 11,000-square-foot Virginia property. The 5-bedroom 7.5-bath house’s architectural design makes it reminiscent of a castle. Some of its luxurious features include a spiral staircase, record room, custom cabinetry, a spa-themed master bedroom, library, classic dining room, and multiple balconies.
