Charlie McAvoy—yeah, that name has been in the headlines, but this time not for his performance on the hockey field. Team USA is struggling with injuries at the best of time and now, McAvoy is out of the line up for the 4 Nations Face-Off final against Canada. He’s joining an unfortunate lineup of other injured stars such as Auston Matthews and the Tkachuk brothers. The Bruins defenseman has been suffering from an upper-body injury that sidelined him in a match against Sweden and more recently, he has been hospitalized at Massachusetts General Hospital as reported.

The culprit? He contracted an infection from a minor injury—so, no need for the people to worry, because sources reveal that McAvoy is perfectly okay and no serious complications to be expected. Nevertheless, it is a bitter blow for Team USA, especially since McAvoy was going all out a few days ago, delivering five huge hits against Canada. Therefore, as McAvoy works on recovering from those injuries and preparing for his return to the ice, it’s time to move to something off-ice; his net worth.

What is Charlie McAvoy’s net worth?

In 2021, Charlie McAvoy struck gold with the Bruins, signing an eight-year, $76 million contract, which was the largest in the team’s history. This placed him at $9.5 million per year, which is in the same bracket as other top defensemen in the NHL such as Cale Makar, Miro Heiskanen, and Seth Jones. At the time, McAvoy was in the final year of a three-year bridge deal, but Boston was not going to lose their star defenseman. Safe to say, the man’s bank account got a serious power play.

Well, what did he have in mind for that fat check? Nothing fancy–just pampering his dog with a “handful of bones,” as he would say it lightly. For McAvoy, the greatest victory was not the money; it was the ability to play hockey without worrying about the contract. “Now I just get to do what I love,” he said, and that’s exactly what he has been doing—delivering bone-crushing hits and being a force to be reckoned with on the Bruins’ defense.

But let’s not fool ourselves, his contract is just the beginning of his earnings. McAvoy’s pockets aren’t just getting filled by the Bruins; endorsements, bonuses, and his off-ice ventures are as strong as he is on the ice defensively.

McAvoy and his endorsements!

In 2023, Charlie McAvoy was not only a force on the ice but also went on to become the face of The Black Dog, the famous Martha’s Vineyard lifestyle clothing line. Together, they dropped a co-branded collection featuring athleisure wear, accessories, and even some stylish gear for man’s best friend. It was about relaxation and casualness of the beach, which perfectly matched the aesthetics of the brand; and let’s not forget that McAvoy, a surfing lover with a French Bulldog, Otto, fit right into the brand’s coastal aesthetic like a glove.

Not even The Black Dog’s CEO, Dan Pucillo, could have selected a more suitable face for the brand and referred to McAvoy as the ideal candidate for their first-ever athlete endorsement. “Charlie’s love for his French Bulldog, Otto, along with his passion for surfing and the beach, made the partnership a natural choice for us,” Pucillo explained, emphasizing that it was not only a business decision but a lifestyle. McAvoy himself got fully immersed and started talking about his childhood on Long Island, where he spent days at the beach with the family and dogs.

Thus, whether it is the massive Bruins contract or this tropical endorsement deal, one cannot doubt that Charlie McAvoy’s wallets are working overtime. With hockey skills that pay the bills and business moves that keep rolling in, this guy is stacking wins on and off the ice.
