Playing career

Doan with the Roadrunners in 2023

While growing up in Arizona, Doan played in the Phoenix Jr. Coyotes program. The Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League (USHL) selected Doan with the 95th overall pick of the 2018 USHL Futures Draft.[1] Doan played one more year with the Jr. Coyotes before joining the Steel for the 2019–20 season. He tied for 16th on the team with 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 45 games and was passed over by all 31 National Hockey League (NHL) teams in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.[3]

On June 21, 2019, Doan announced his commitment to play for Arizona State University.[4] He began his collegiate career at ASU in the 2021–22 season.[5]

In his second year of draft eligibility, Doan returned to the Steel and emerged as one of the scoring leaders on the USHL's Clark Cup championship team. He finished third on both the Steel – behind Sean Farrell and Matthew Coronato – and in the entire league with 70 points (31 goals, 39 assists) in 53 games. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau ranked the 19-year-old Doan as the 87th-best North American skater eligible for the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

On July 24, 2021, the Arizona Coyotes selected Doan in the second round with the 37th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.[2] Doan's father, Shane, played his entire 21-year NHL career for the Coyotes franchise and previously served as the team's chief hockey development officer.[6][7]

Following completion of his sophomore year as captain of the Sun Devils in the 2022–23 season, Doan concluded his collegiate career by signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Arizona Coyotes on March 16, 2023.[8] With his contract not due to commence until the 2023–24 season, Doan was signed by the Coyotes' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners, for the remainder of their season.[9]

Doan began the 2023–24 season with the Roadrunners, leading the team in goals (26) and points (46) before being recalled to the Coyotes on March 25, 2024.[10] The following day, Doan made his NHL debut and scored two goals (including the game-winning goal) in a 6–2 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and became the first player in franchise history to score multiple goals in their debut.[11]
