Shane Doan's final game with the Arizona Coyotes was April 8, 2017, against the Minnesota Wild. He had an assist in the team's final game, and he never played another NHL game.
HE'S BACK.
Today, we officially announce Shane Doan as Chief Hockey Development Officer.
Welcome home, Captain! https://t.co/q5u2xymaRF— Arizona Coyotes (@ArizonaCoyotes) January 11, 2021Shane Doan's departure from the Arizona Coyotes rubbed fans the wrong way at the time. The team's longest-serving captain, a legend in the Valley, and the only player who was with the team when they were still the Winnipeg Jets, was not going to be re-signed and per reports at the team would be naming Oliver Ekman-Larsson as captain.
