OTTAWA—Senator and former Montreal Canadiens coach Jacques Demers has been hospitalized, but his office said Saturday it was too early to provide any details. His director of parliamentary affairs confirmed in an email that Demers, 72, had been admitted to a Montreal hospital but couldn’t immediately provide any details. Demers had suffered a stroke in April but his health seemed to have improved recently. He was at the Canadiens’ home opener on Tuesday night, smiling in a wheelchair while handing a torch to Captain Max Pacioretty to close out a pre-game ceremony. Demers led the Canadiens to their last Stanley Cup in 1993.
