Oke Commits To Concordia

Former Sea Dogs forward Scott Oke has committed to Concordia University.

“Scott is a rugged power winger who will be one of the top six forwards on our team,” said Concordia Stingers men’s hockey head coach Kevin Figsby in a release. “He will add offence to the team and is expected to contribute on the power play.”

Oke was a third round pick of Saint John in the 2009 QMJHL Entry Draft. The St. Lambert, Quebec native played in 100 regular season games over three seasons with the Sea Dogs, recording 14 goals and 18 assists. He also had a goal and five assists in 18 playoff games in 2011, helping Saint John win their first President’s Cup and Memorial Cup.

Oke was traded to Rimouski during the 2011-12 trading period. The Oceanic then traded him to Bathurst last season where he had 11 goals and 17 assists in 48 games as an overager.

Victor Provencher also committed to the Stingers this week.

Concordia finished 15^th overall in the OUA last season with a 10-13-4 record. Their roster also includes former Sea Dogs defenseman Gabriel Bourret.
