Anyone willing to share what billet families are given per month to have a WHL player in their homes?

I've heard Wheat King billets get $200-250 per month, and free season tickets, don't know how many seats though.
I suspect that they would be the same across the board.
I heard between $300 and $500 (easy to figure) and 2 season tickets.
are the true unsung heroes of the league. Just the food alone to keep a teenage appetite satisfied would far exceed those amounts, let alone what an athlete like these guys must consume. I tip my hat to them and wonder when they might get a raise...probably about the time they give the players one; which is as probable as, well, the Everett Silvertips winning the Mem Cup this year.
i agree that good billets are the benchmark for a strong hockey club.The billets dont get enough thanks for the critical job that they do for the youngsters in providing a stable safe environment .I also believe the players should get a raise , it really is a joke how much the kids get on their paycheques.I hope that perhaps TV revenue can help
