When we say that there can be surprises at training camp, the name Arber Xhekaj automatically comes to mind. The defenseman went from being a Costco employee to a member of the Montreal Canadiens in three months last year and is now about to play for the Montreal Canadiens. Xhekaj's story is a great one for Habs fans and for the organization itself, but it's also great news for OHL players. Xhekaj played for the Hamilton Bulldogs last season and according to TSN sportscaster Gord Miller, it's a relief to know that he will be starting his professional career this year: <q>« He left a trail of devastation behind him in the OHL last year. I talked to the OHL coaches about (Xhekaj). People were terrified of him. - Gord Miller </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HabsLinks/status/1577762852298956800?t=7FMo8OVShTd6RhPz4Tkw9Q&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> Xhekaj's reputation is well established in the OHL. And we have a good feeling that this reputation could continue in the NHL, since Xhekaj doesn't seem to make friends with opposing players. The kind of player you love to have on your team, but hate to play against.
