It might be time to give the NHL script writers a raise.
In his first NHL game, with his dad Shane watching on, Josh Doan scored his first NHL goal against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday and brought the Mullett Arena crowd to its feet.
To make the script even more perfect, he did it wearing No. 91, a reference to his father's No. 19 which is almost certainly the most iconic jersey in Coyotes franchise history.
And if that wasn't enough for you, while playing with Arizona State, he also scored the first goal in the history of Mullett Arena.
Talk about a guy who knows how to make a debut.
To make it even sweeter, Scottsdale's favourite son doubled up in the third period with a cheeky tip-in to give the Coyotes the lead and build on a night to remember.
With this score, he also became the first skater in franchise history to record multiple goals in their NHL debut.
Josh, 22, was selected in the second round (37th overall) of the 2021 NHL Draft by the Coyotes. He then signed a three-year, entry-level contract in March 2023.
With the way his NHL career started, we are sure it won't be the first time he gives Coyotes fans something to cheer about.
Here are some of the best reactions to the feel-good moment:
