Former NHL coach Jacques Demers admits he's illiterate

wilheim · Nov 3, 2005

Jacques Demers spent 15 years in the NHL as a head coach and general manager and never knew how to read or write. The colourful former bench boss of five different NHL teams has admitted that he is illiterate. The revelation comes in a biography in French released Wednesday called Jacques Demers En Toutes Lettres, which roughly translates as 'Jacques Demers From A To Z'.

I think hockey is the only major sport where someone can be an illiterate coach for 15 years and get away with it

This explains a lot about Jacques. It all makes sense now.

"Dat is not da way to play 'ockey".

Can't talk too well if you can't spell or read I guess.
