College players have to pay their own way to pro camps

You reap what you sow, or so Scripture says.

J.T. Compher, A.J. Greer and Ben Storm had to pay to play this week at the Avalanche development camp.

Those prospects are NCAA student-athletes and under college eligibility rules had to pay their own travel and other expenses to attend the three-day development camp, which ended Thursday.

"It's tough, for sure. Some aren't as fortunate as others," said Greer, an Avalanche second-round selection in last month's NHL draft. "My parents gave me the opportunity to come out, and I'm so grateful for that. And I'm just trying to take as much as I can back home.
