Playing career

Bokk spent time in Germany with the Kölner Haie junior program before moving to Sweden and the Växjö Lakers in 2017. In 2017 he was selected ninth overall by the Prince Albert Raiders in the 2017 CHL Import Draft.[1] Only interested in playing for a team in the Ontario Hockey League, specifically the Windsor Spitfires, Bokk decided against moving to North America and spent the 2017–18 season in the J20 SuperElit, the top junior league in Sweden, finishing with 41 point in 35 games on Växjö's junior affiliate. He also played 15 games for the senior team in the Swedish Hockey League, scoring one goal and one assist.[2]

Regarded as a top draft pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, Bokk was ranked the twelfth-best European skater by the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau.[3] Bokk was selected by the St. Louis Blues 25th overall.[4][5] He was then signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blues on 12 July 2018.[6]

On 7 May 2019, after two seasons with the Växjö Lakers, Bokk signed on loan from the St. Louis Blues with fellow SHL club Rögle BK for the 2019–20 season, reuniting with former junior coach Cam Abbott.[7] On 24 September 2019, Bokk was traded, along with Joel Edmundson and a seventh-round pick in 2021, to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Justin Faulk and a fifth-round pick in 2020.[8]

Ending his stint in Sweden, with the Hurricanes and North American seasons set to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bokk remained in Germany loaned by Carolina to join Krefeld Pinguine of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) on 12 September 2020.[9] With the league commencement delayed due to the ongoing pandemic, Bokk returned to Sweden and the SHL, agreeing to a loan in joining Djurgårdens IF on 16 October 2020.[10] Bokk made 20 appearances with Djurgårdens in the 2020–21 season, collecting just 3 points, before he was re-assigned by the Hurricanes to join primary AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, on 16 January 2021.[11]

International play

Bokk played for Germany in the 2017 IIHF World U18 Championship Division I where he finished tied for second in scoring with seven goals and three assists.[1] He also played at the 2018 and 2019 World Junior Championships Division IA. At the 2019 tournament he led Division IA in scoring and helped Germany earn promotion to the 2020 World Junior Championships.
