History
2007-08: Jokinen completed his senior season at Cloquet-Esko-Carlton, where he served as one of the team captains, leading the Lumberjacks to their first Section 7AA Championship since 2002 and a berth in the Minnesota state high school tournament. His 43 points (22 goals, 21 assists) led CEC in scoring and ranked fourth in Section 7AA overall scoring. Jokinen garnered numerous accolades that included being selected to the CCM All-Star game, earning an honorable mention to the AP All-State Team and being named a finalist for the 2008 Mr. Hockey Award. Most recently, he was selected to participate in the 24th annual Chicago Showcase.
Talent Analysis
Jokinen possesses all the attributes on offense that a scout looks for in a young player: skating, vision, a hard and accurate shot, and the ability to pass the puck as well as finish. At this point, he needs to get in the weight room and add bulk to his tall frame. Although he uses his size effectively and has a physical element to his game, he does need to improve on defense.
Future
He has signed a NLI to play for Minnesota State University, Mankato. If he can add the necessary muscle, his time there may be short-lived.
