Arber Xhekaj yesterday: “My parents sacrificed everything for me & my brother their whole lives. Sleeping in the car, driving us to Toronto for every practice…putting every single ounce of money they have into me & Florian. For her to be there & see where we’ve come, it’s a pretty special moment.”

  7. Woof… did not know what I was reading until it was too late, right in the heart. Thats heavy, and I’m relating it back to being a parent. They must be so proud of their two boys.

  10. With Arber’s first paycheck he replaced just about all the appliances for his parents house. Not long after he got his dad his dream car. Always nice seeing such strong family bonds and them thinking of family first. Hope that these two stay Habs and prove their value in the playoffs.

  11. It’s pretty great to have players in the organization who represent the value of the people who grew up watching this team. It feels like you’re rooting for more than a team. You’re rooting for part of an identity.

  13. I remember reading many cases like this, where parents sacrificed a lot, and it didn’t work out in the end. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of cases like this. Sure hope these 2 makes it just so there are successes here and there, and of course because it would be with us.
