Here's a question for those "in the know" when it comes to gluten free, no red meat diets... How do you get the typical 5000-6000 calories a hockey player needs to operate at full capacity?? How do you make sure you're getting 2000-3000 calories of carbohydrates that a hockey player should be consuming??
You're sure as hell not getting that kind of caloric intake eating leafy greens, oatmeal, nuts, and berries. Is Toews lactose intolerant as well...?
Here's a great story about how hockey players can struggle to get the nutrition they need, when they AREN'T limiting themselves to certain foods:

“But we also wanted to do something that he could manage, because it’s obviously not easy to eat 6,000 calories with all the meals you have to prepare.
“So what we did was put more fat in his diet to keep the calorie intake up.
“He’s not having saturated fats and french fries and that kind of thing, but he doesn’t have to be afraid to have guacamole and whole fat milks.
“What happens is that they try to eat so clean that they just can’t get enough calories.
“They can eat bushels of spinach and chicken and fish, but the problem is that they don’t get enough calories.
“We try to get them going back a little bit more to how our grandparents ate. Don’t be afraid of fats but know what are good fats and what are bad fats.”
