If you haven't seen it, Sportsnet TV made a wonderful documentary about the story of Arber Xhekaj and his family.
Having listened to it, it's frankly even more impressive to see what his parents, who were refugees with no money, went through to get Arber to play hockey and thrive in the sport.
However, one of the wonderful parts of the documentary is when the CH's number 72 great reveals the ultimate goal of his NHL career.
The rookie wants to retire his parents as soon as possible. Wow!
He says it with so much emotion that you can tell he thinks the world of his parents. What a young man!
It's rare to hear such words from a 21 year old player. He wants to make enough money, not to buy a nice house or luxury cars, but to give back to his parents some of the work they did to help him reach his dream of playing in the NHL.
The maturity of this young man is just incredible. And you can tell he has good values and comes from a good family.
This documentary makes us appreciate our dear "Wifi" even more.
