NHL captains do not receive additional pay specifically for their captain duties; their salary is determined by their overall contract with the team. The role of captain comes with added responsibilities, such as leading the team and serving as a liaison between players and coaching staff, but this is considered part of their overall role as a player. Any incentives tied to performance or leadership may be included in their contract, but there is no separate compensation solely for being a captain.
