There was a lot of excitement surrounding Tyson Jost's debut with the Colorado Avalanche on Friday, but no one was more excited than his grandpa Jim.

The Avalanche signed Tyson to an entry-level contract on Wednesday and when his NHL came two days later, his family was ready with the tissues.

If that adorable face looks familiar, you might remember Jim from the 2016 NHL Draft when he got the waterworks going after the Avalanche drafted Tyson with the No. 10 selection.
"I embarrassed my kids all to hell,"
Jim said at the time.
"But, it's a happy cry. This is so rewarding."

Given Tyson's promising future, the Jost family better keep their home stocked with tissues. There might be many more occasions for those happy tears.
