Jorian Donovan News Release Share this âIâm fired upâ: Donovan and Yakemchuk to make home debuts March 26, 2026 By: Andrew Wilimek (Ottawa Senators) It was just 16 years ago that former Senators forward Shean Donovan was holding court in front of reporters in the dressing room at Canadian Tire Centre. On Thursday, it was his son Jorianâs turn. No longer the blond-haired kid running around dodging the Senators crest in the middle of the floor, time Jorian was the man speaking to the cameras and microphones. âThis is definitely new, this is awesome, just excited to be back in the home barn, Iâm fired up,â said a passionate Donovan after morning skate on Thursday. âIâm extremely excited to be home, I mean, Iâve grown up here, Iâve been in this barn quite a few times, whether it was [when] I was ten years old with my shirt off in the stands trying to get on the jumbotron, or just like, being in the room with my dad or something like that, so no, Iâm excited to be here.â The debuts of Donovan and Yakemchuk in Detroit were one thing, but the pair will face a new test on Thursday night in Ottawa â their long-awaited introductions to a home crowd. âAs much as I want to think about playing and being here, Iâm trying to not, so I can get some sleep,â said Donovan. âI think thatâs the biggest thing, just trying to not think about it as much as I am.â Yakemchuk, much more reserved than Donovan, laughed when he was asked if heâd ever be able to get used to the gaggle of almost two dozen cameras and microphones that greeted him when he returned from morning skate. âI probably feel the same [as Donovan], I mean, itâs really exciting to be playing, a lot of nerves going into it for sure,â said Yakemchuk, the seventh overall draft pick in 2024 You can click here to read the full article from Senators.com.
