There is the proof for what the NHL take the fans for.
I think choir boys in the form some of us know have long been eradicated.

Jesus. It may not be performance enhancing but it's not at all good for these so called role models.
NHLPA & NHL need to serverely detract from players salaries and ticket prices if the league revenues are making its way to the coke dealer.
Anyone who supports the scum that pedals this crap needs to see how many lives are destroyed on the path.

1- its illegal.
2- the league invests millions in these young guys.
The league has every right, like numerous employers, to be concerned and have mandates against it.
They're young and they have money....not all that surprising.
Surprised it's not on the list of banned substances though....although if it does become banned, it'll only be a matter of time before they add Marijuana to the list, which is less harmful than alcohol.

one warning only!
18) Discussion of illegal drugs should be kept within academic or newsworthy limits only. "How to" discussions and "I'm so stoned" posts may result in repercussions ranging from a warning to immediate and permanent banning, depending on previous history, context of post and nature/content of post. Promotion of anything illegal is strictly prohibited.
Be very careful what you post.

You'd have to delete half of every GDT.
Or 1/2 the posters.
Makes no difference to me.

Don't see how Cocaine is performance enhancing. I mean I am not saying they take it for that......Cocaine doesn't really make sense to me for NHL players unless they're partying a lot.

Cocain can cause an elevated heart rate-pretty sure that isn't good for overall health.
I'm surprised it isn't in the list but the NHL has never seemed all that interested in monitoring for and punishing performance enhancing drugs and I am willing to bet there are several in the league who use them.
I suppose they didn't see the need. Either didn't know this problem existed or (more likely) pretended not to know.
Personally I'd prefer if they went after PEDs first, as a hockey fan and customer that's more important to me than what players do in their spare time.

Vague, nonspecific accusations are not particularly helpful.
My workplace has a drug-free policy. The NHL is more than within their rights to demand a drug-free (that includes banning marijuana) employees. These are athletes. Some of the problems that go along with drugs- broken families, lost wages and debt, gambling, physical and verbal abuse to name a few- have no place in the NHL and provide us the motivation to be vigilant.
As a fan, I want my athletes to be in top shape. If for no other reason than that, a drug-free policy makes sense.

And would be the opposite of performance enhancing. I can't imagine a stoned player would be effective at all.

Probably more about players associating with the criminal element.
Thought the league didn't mind having a booking in the coaching ranks.
