Florian Xhekaj's Mom Speaks Out with Heartfelt Message Following Canadiens Roster Move
The Montreal Canadiens' decision to cut Florian Xhekaj from training camp was clearly not an easy one, and it was far from unanimous.
A few hours after the announcement of the cut, the mother of the two brothers, Simona Xhekaj, posted an emotional message on social media, addressed directly to her son and, indirectly, to the Montreal organization.
This reaction, shared by many fans, reminds us how close the Xhekaj family is and that Simona supports her sons. It's really beautiful to see. It also serves as a reminder that players are, above all, human.
A sincere reaction filled with pride for Florian Xhekaj
On her account, Simona wrote a simple but pride-filled message, after the three games played together by Arber and Florian Xhekaj during camp:
"Flo, we are sooo proud of you, thankful for 3 games that you played with your brother. It was incredible to watch you two together on ice at the same time.
This is just beginning. Head up and go light it up in Laval."

A message of encouragement that quickly touched Canadiens fans, aware of the unique bond between the two brothers.
I think moments like this remind us that hockey is, above all, a story of family and passion.
Florian, who will return to Laval to start the season with the Rocket, has clearly left a strong impression on Martin St. Louis and his teammates. I must say he left a good one on the fans as well.
And one thing is certain: he is far from done making headlines.
