Anything over 100 players would work out to about a 15% of hockey players (650 players in the league). While cocaine might be a seem like a popular drug for a bunch of rich kids, I doubt the NHL would have rates that high. That would be about 4 players per team doing coke.

I disagree.
If you have worked in oilsands, the prevalence of people doing hard drugs (cocaine.etc) is exponentially higher than 1%. My guess would be 10%. Not entirely sure since I don't partake in cocaine use. However, considering that you are talking about young men who are in their 20s, many do not have families, living in hotels going from city to city for 8 months, making millions, and under intense media scrutiny for their play, I think it would be safe to assume the incidence of cocaine use in all four professional sport is very high, in relation to the general population.
You just have to look at history. There are tons of ex-players who were addicted, and even died due to drug use. For every player that has a serious problem with cocaine, my guess is there are 10 players using it recreationaly.
