The esophagus passes close to the trachea (breathing tube) and the left side of the heart. This means that problems with the esophagus, such as eating something too hot, can sometimes feel like a pain close to or in the heart or throat.
The average AHL player makes about $40,000 annually, however, players in the AHL under a contract with an affiliated NHL team will make a much greater amount if they are under a one way contract or have stipulations which will guarantee a larger salary if they are sent to the AHL from the NHL.
The average pay in MLS is 75k. There are a few players that make wak above that though. Landon Donovan makes 900k and Freddy Adu I think makes 750k. The players on the reserve teams that see very little to no time with the first teams make $11,500 I think.DL and W-League players make $0 (for playing at least) per season due to NCAA restrictions (most of the rosters is made up of NCAA players, and they would lose their eligibility if they were paid or if they played with players who were paid. Why yes the NCAA sucks.
