As we reported to you earlier this week, the management of the Montreal Canadiens offered young striker Florian Xhekaj his first professional contract of his career.
Following the signing of the contract, the Laval Rocket announced that Arber’s younger brother Xhekaj will finish the regular season in the American League to help the team try to qualify for a playoff spot.
Yesterday, he joined his new teammates to participate in a first training session in Cleveland.
He who was training as a 13th striker, everything indicates that he will not be integrated into the lineup during this evening’s match and that he will be given time to familiarize himself with his new teammates before making him play a first match.
Following the training, the main person revealed what his nickname was and it’s simply perfect.
He whose brother is nicknamed “The Sheriff”, he indicated that his nickname in junior was “The Deputy”.
Imagine the scenario if he reaches the NHL in the near future and his brother is still in Montreal, we could have “The Sheriff” and “The Deputy” with the Canadiens!
There are only four games left in the Rocket’s regular schedule. It will be interesting to see what head coach Jean-François Houle has as a plan for the future.
- Aged 19, Florian in 6 playoff games.
