Canadians smoke, and when I played, yep, they smoked between periods.
NYI management would pay Mike extra if he didn't smoke during the playoffs !
Had a friend (who wound up playing 12 years in the NFL) who was in the Steeler’s locker room after a game back in the day and he met Jack Lambert. Lambert was smoking a cigarette between his taped fingers and drinking a six pack (without taking the cans out of the rings).
