The players are provided the opportunity to play in the CHL to further develop their game and hopefully make it into the NHL. The teams are providing things for the players to assist with that, and to make their time in the league easier. It really isn't supposed to be about money at this level. The league has a scholarship program set up (that could be improved) to assist those who don't make it to the big leagues.
Not sure what the expectation is here. The players are being taken care of in exchange for working on improving their level of play in a game they love while they try and get to the NHL. The CHL is not a job - it is an opportunity... and still better than an internship.
