And I risk derailing the thread with this, but since his diet was brought up before. From the same article above:
Quote:
The nation’s leading scorer can’t recall his father’s candy contrivance. Forever a picky eater, he still likes Skittles, ideally the orange variety. For the most part, he has switched to plain M&Ms, the BC trainer doling him out one bag per game.
As for lunch, that’s always the same.
“He never changes, four pieces of turkey on white bread,’’ said Kevin Hayes, the 6-4 right winger from Dorchester who fills out Gaudreau’s prolific line (68-105—173) with center Bill Arnold. “He walks in, and Carol, the lady behind the lunch counter, sees him, and she just puts the turkey on the bread, hands it to him, and that’s it. Same every day.’’
Russ DeRosa, the hockey squad’s strength and conditioning coach, has watched a committed, dedicated Gaudreau make solid gains in the weight room over three seasons. The pride of the Eagle offense has added about 10 pounds, said DeRosa, and made strides in his overall diet.
“He’s not the best at that, but he’s better,’’ said DeRosa. Our nutritionist is constantly reminding the players, ‘Drag your sandwich through the garden . . . get some color on your plate.’ We want them to add tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers. My office is near the lunch room, so it’s hard for them to sneak by me. But when we’re on the road, if we’re at the airport, if I go right, Johnny will go left so he can go eat what he wants and I can’t see him. But you’re not going to find better than Johnny — a talented kid with character to match the talent.’’
