Arber Xhekaj made a fan happy in Toronto
The least we can say is that Arber Xhekaj is a well-liked player among his teammates and Canadiens fans.
The sheriff is, however, hated by his opponents and their fans, which is all part of the game. He belongs to that category of players that everyone hates to play against.
Still, he always has his heart in the right place, and no matter if you like him on the ice or not, it's hard not to like the person.
Arber Xhekaj is involved in several charitable works and is always there to help others. He is very close to the public while staying out of the spotlight. He remains very humble.
Just Thursday night, in hostile territory in Toronto, he played a game of "rock-paper-scissors" with a fan in the stands and then gave her a puck.
For Arber, it took 10 seconds of his time, but for that fan, it probably made her week, maybe even more.
It's the kind of story that repeats itself in the case of the Canadiens' 72. A tough and solid player who isn't afraid to drop the gloves, but with a tender heart and a helping hand for those in need.
