Kitchener, Ont. native Steven Lorentz scored his first goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.
It ended up being the game-winning goal as the Leafs took down the New Jersey Devils 4-2.
It comes after Lorentz signed a one-year deal with the team earlier this week.
Following up on the win, Lorentz's sister shared one of her brother's yearbook pictures with a heartwarming prediction.
"15 years ago, this year … don't give up on your dreams, kids," the post reads.
The 28-year-old had a two-point night in the win and got 15:07 of ice time.
"That was pretty cool," Lorentz told reporters, referring to the goal. "We got the puck out to the slot and I was fortunate enough, I got all of it on the backhand. Every once in a while I catch one like that. It felt pretty good for that to go in."
