I don't know about any rules forbidding any celebrity from endorsing alcohol, but it does violate the NHL CBA. Laraque got in trouble for it a few years ago when he was with the Habs: http://nesn.com/2009/10/montreals-ge...in-alcohol-ad/


Also, Budweiser isn't an official sponsor of the NHL anymore, so I'm sure that's another reason they had to use two names that could never be confused for any real players' names.
