Demers was a pretty good coach in the NHL. Won back to back Jack Adams trophies and won a Cup with the Habs in '93. My question is knowing his story about not knowing how to read does that make you respect him more knowing what he had to go through and what he accomplished without being able to read?
His story is that he was in an abusive home and growing up he never got any sleep at night and slept during class. This forced him not to be able to read properly. From then on I can only assume he winged it. He did this while being in the NHL, having his assistants help him
