Tyson Jost's Grandpa Cries Tears of Joy at Colorado Avalanche Rookie's 1st Goal

Colorado Avalanche rookie Tyson Jost's grandfather is an emotional guy.

When the 19-year-old out of North Dakota was drafted over the summer, his grandpa, Jim, shed some tears. Last week, when Jost took the ice for the first time in the NHL, Jim cried from pure happiness.

On Thursday, Jost scored his first goal.

You know what happened next.

After a few emotional seconds, Jim went back to his popcorn.

After falling to the Minnesota Wild, 4-3, the Avalanche forward praised his grandpa. 

"It's great to have my grandpa in the stands," Jost said, per Cole Hamilton of BSN Denver. "He's kind of my secret weapon throughout my whole life. He knows a lot about hockey. I don't think people realize how great of a hockey mind he is. I owe him a lot."
