Cooley receives well wishes from family, friends ahead of NHL debut

Logan Cooley’s support system is only one call away.

The Arizona Coyotes forward received well wishes from his family and former teammates before his NHL debut against the New Jersey Devils on Friday.

In a clip posted by the Coyotes on social media, Cooley, the No. 3 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, watched video messages from his nearest and dearest congratulating him on making the Coyotes’ opening night roster.

Cooley kept it together until his mom’s words of encouragement played.

“Logs, with your work ethic and determination, I have complete faith you are going to accomplish great things,” Cooley’s mother, Cathy, said in the video. “Now get out there and kick butt!”

The Coyotes rookie broke out in a smile after the message.

“That one hits a little bit,” Cooley said in the video. “But, yeah, it’s going to be special to have them all here.”
