Arber Xhekaj is used to signing cards from Costco

Arber Xhekaj’s reputation is well established.

The Canadiens’ fans fell in love with him because of his style of play… But also because of his story.

After all, when we learned that he worked at Costco before starting his career in the National League to be able to pay for ice time to train during the pandemic, a lot of ink was spilled.

Since then, every time we talk about Xhekaj, many people make connections with Costco, which is normal.

That said, hearing Arber Xhekaj say that he’s already signed a lot of Costco membership cards since his NHL debut is really funny.

And no, it’s not a prank:

During a signing session at the end of the week, Cédrik Séguin from HFTV wanted to play a joke on him by asking him to sign his Costco card.

That’s when Arber told him that he’s already used to being asked that question.

Arber’s little brother, Florian, says he was once asked to sign a partisan’s forehead… With a permanent sharpie.

He was hesitant at first, but the parents of the child in question gave him the go.

All this to say that the two Xhekaj brothers are gaining popularity in Montreal and that the requests from fans are a little strange when it comes to autographs.

That said, these demands will continue to be even more bizarre if the two brothers stay in town for a long time and if they are able to establish themselves as impact players within the club.

In burst

– Good news.

– To be continued…

– That goes without saying.
