He is just the third player born in Kazakhstan to be drafted in the last 20  years, and if he makes his NHL debut, would be just the 14th Kazakh-born player to play in the league. However, Sokolovskii was raised in Yekaterinburg, Russia.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>3. He\u2019s committed to the University of Maine<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But you won\u2019t see Sokolovskii suit up for the Black Bears next year. The defenseman spent last season as a rookie in the OHL with the London Knights, who also developed Denver Barkey and Oliver Bonk. He\u2019s committed to start playing college hockey in 2027-28, and will return to London for another season in the OHL.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1638\">\u2018A house from a scary movie\u2019: Olney neighbors rattled amid rowhouse raid<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>4.
