Not terribly uncommon for power athletes to do.

From google:Maple syrup can stimulate liver and muscle glycogen during exercise. When exercising, the body depletes glycogen stores, so consuming carbohydrates like maple syrup can help replenish them. This helps maintain blood sugar and provide energy and stamina. Maple syrup is also easy to digest.

There's several athletic brands that use maple syrup as a source of energy for athleticism, mainly endurance sports, but the most famous one is UnTapped. It's just straight up maple syrup in a tube, they have variants with additional electrolytes added and even caffeine.
