What employer doesn't supply equipment then? Not construction. I've done that. And the CHL doctor, as I said, benefits the team as much as the player. Maybe more so.
I think a lot of the responses here ignore the age of these kids, their limited bargaining power (agents or not) and the relative risk and cost benefit. Just saying "they've got it good" whitewashes a lot.
Do you think NCAA football players get a fair shake?

I know many construction workers or carpenters that have to bring all their own tools to work.
As for NCAA players. They get a Full ride 40,000 dollar a year scholarship and the profits go to fund the not so popular sports and scholarships like field hockey and many others, although I do think the individual should maintain the right to profit from their name and likeness.
