[2] He played three seasons in the QMJHL with the Screaming Eagles, scoring 97 goals and 191 points in 184 games. [3] In his final season he led the league in goals with 46 and came in third in league scoring with 92 points. He was named to the 2020 QMJHL First All-Star Team and the Screaming Eagles' most valuable player. [4]

He was passed over in two National Hockey League (NHL) entry drafts before being selected by the Ottawa Senators in the second round, 61st overall in the 2020 NHL entry draft. [3] Before his selection by the Senators, Sokolov had attended the development camps of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs. [5] On November 20, 2020, the Senators signed Sokolov to a three-year entry-level contract. [6] After attending his first training camp, Sokolov was assigned to Ottawa's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators. [7] He was recalled by the Senators on November 8, 2021 [8] and played in his first NHL game on November 9, 2021, against the Boston Bruins. [9] He played the majority of the 2022–23 season with Belleville, scoring 21 goals and 59 points in 70 games. [10] He represented Belleville at the 2023 AHL All-Star Classic.

[12] Sokolov re-signed with Ottawa on September 19, 2023, to a one-year, two-way contract. [10] He failed to make Ottawa's team out of training camp and was placed on waivers. He went unclaimed and was assigned to Belleville to start the 2023–24 season. [13] He spent the entire season in the AHL, playing in 71 games and scoring 21 goals and 46 points, good for second on the team. [14]
