SCoC Draft Profiles: Bernard-Docker is a quality RHD going to the next level

Jacob Bernard-Docker is a kid used to two things: success, and point-getting.

Bernard-Docker is a 6’1, 186-pound defender who helped the Okotoks Oilers lead the AJHL South Division, where he and his team only experienced 6 losses in the regular season. Total.

He did this by being a strong skater with a low center of gravity that makes him hard to knock off the puck, reading plays before they happen in order to build on his own team’s work and to snuff out opposing teams opportunities, an impressive “Hockey-IQ” to compliment his play-reading, and with a tricky, low-riser of a shot that seems to keep taking players off guard.
