When we think of the Xhekaj brothers, Arber and Florian, we often see them as tough guys. However, we've just learned that they are not the toughest members of the family.
The mother of the two Montreal Canadiens players, Simona Xhekaj, has made a post that drew attention to Arber and Florian's sister, Sophia Xhekaj, who has just left for the Northwest Territories to fight wildfires.
After a rather difficult season offensively with 25 points in 68 games, the fourth-round pick in 2023 has made exceptional progress this season. Now standing at 6 feet 4 inches, the 19-year-old left winger was one of the best players for the Brantford Bulldogs, scoring 34 goals and 31 assists in 63 games.
Meanwhile, in the last few days, it has been confirmed that Arber's season is over due to a right shoulder injury that will require surgery.
