Huh? I was referring to players in the CHL under NHL contract get paid from the NHL team (from the CBA Article 9 Entry Level Compensation ):

The maximum compensation payable to a Group 1 Player who is playing in the Major Juniors shall be U.S. $10,500 per League Year.

That is why the NCAA can still consider the CHL leagues as being professional even though both now are giving players a stipiend. The NHL teams that assign players under NHL contract to the CHL are still paying them (whether it be bonuses and/or the above mentioned compensation) and therefore can be considered professional.
