Ryan O'Reilly's kids react to his Maple Leafs debut.

An amazing moment for the O'Reilly family.

This will no doubt be a moment that the O'Reilly family will remember for a long time to come, and thankfully it looks like much of it has been captured on video.

On Saturday night, Ryan O'Reilly made his Toronto Maple Leafs debut in what must have been a very special moment for a kid who grew up in Varna, Ontario. Making the moment all the more special though was the fact that now a grown man, O'Reilly's children were able to have a magical moment of their own when they got to watch their dad step out onto the ice for the very first time as a Leaf.

It's clear to see how much playing in Toronto means to Ryan O'Reilly and to his family, and that could be something that helps the Maple Leafs when his contract expires at the end of this season.
