Former Coach Now Scout

The Sting wish to congratulate former Trenton bench boss/GM Michael Oke on his new job as Chief Scout with International Scouting Services (ISS).

Oke coached the Sting in the teams early years and despite moving on he always remained in touch with the team and has been seen at games every year since. He has also done some unofficial scouting for Trenton in the past as well.

Oke has a wealth of hockey experience as a player, scout, coach, and General Manager.

For the past two seasons Oke has worked as an Assistant Coach with the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League. His strong hockey sense has been key in his ability to analyze and evaluate the skills and tendencies of both his own and his opponents players.

Prior to that Oke spent four years as Assistant Coach at Wilfred Laurier University of the Ontario University Athletic Association.

The ISS is a global provider of online hockey scouting, and hockey news. It is their goal to offer the highest quality scouting information to hockey clubs through the dynamic integration of hockey experts, scouting procedures and state-of-the-art technology.

Congratulations Mike!
