Quebec junior hockey player favours swig of mustard on bench to ward off cramps

Sitting on the Halifax Mooseheads' bench Sunday during a playoff game, Zachary L'Heureux grimaced as he squeezed a bright yellow mustard bottle and took a swig.

Since the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League posted a video Tuesday on Twitter of the 19-year-old left-winger and his unusual snack, it has attracted nearly 100,000 views and caused plenty of raised eyebrows.

L'Heureux, the 2021 first-round draft pick of the NHL's Nashville Predators, says in a video posted online by his team today that he gulps the mustard to relieve leg cramps.
