MONTREAL — Hospital officials say Sen. Jacques Demers is responding well to therapy and that his overall medical condition is stable after his stroke a week ago.

The McGill University Health Centre said in a statement this afternoon his neurological condition continues to improve and the medical team is pleased with his prognosis for rehabilitation.

Demers, who coached the Montreal Canadiens to their 1993 Stanley Cup victory, is a patient of the team's current doctor, David Mulder.
