Former Canadiens coach Jacques Demers was appointed to the Canadian Senate on Thursday.
Demers is a Stanley Cup-winning coach and has spoken out about his battle with illiteracy.
"I've worked so hard these last four years to improve my reading and writing. All of a sudden, they name me senator. It's just incredible," Demers said on the Web site of RDS TV, where he's a hockey analyst.
"I always worked hard in my life. First, to become a coach. Then in broadcasting. I was able to demonstrate that despite a limited education, you can accomplish good things."
