RBK is the exclusive supplier to the AHL - they have a league-wide licensing deal. No other brand name is allowed to be shown on any gear or sticks, aside from goalie gear.
So the teams are fully stocked by RBK, and that's what the players get when they show up in the fall.
If a player insists on using something else, some teams will get it for him, and some may not, depending on that players stature, and/or how much extra it will cost the team to do so. There are no discounts from other brands, since they don't get any exposure.
