Arber Xhekaj made a great gesture that shows his great class and it is making the rounds on the web

Known for being a true warrior on the ice, Arber Xhekaj also has a tender heart outside of hockey.

If the defenseman is appreciated by fans for his prowess in a blue-white-red uniform, he is also a role model for many people.

Arber gave a little surprise to a charity called The Angel Project over the weekend. The organization helps sick patients in various institutions in need, who have been abandoned by their families and society in general.

The Canadiens number 72 showed up and took pictures, gave an autographed shirt and spent time with the patients there. He even went further than that by becoming an ambassador for the cause.

A lot of class from Xhekaj!
