Jamestown (CSi-UJ) University of Jamestown head coach Dean Stork announces the signing of Trevor Okino of Richmond, British Columbia, who will join the Jimmies in the 2016-17 season.
Okino is a 6’3″, 198 pound defenseman who played for the Chase Heat in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) in 2015-16. In 52 games for the Heat, Okino recorded three goals and 45 assists along with 18 penalty minutes. He was one of two players to skate in every game and finished second on the team in scoring.
“Trevor is a two-way defenseman with an extraordinary skill set,” said Stork. “He can skate and push the pace of the game. His offensive instincts set him above most of the competition, and he will be an excellent addition to our power play. Most definitely he will help with our 5 on 5 play offensively. This has been a player I have been keying in on from the start of the season and I was extremely excited to get the phone call with his commitment.”
In 154 games over three seasons with the Heat, Okino scored 14 goals to go along with 115 assists.
