Sorochan was in the net as he led the Golden Bears to win the CIS national championship in 2008.[2]

In December 2007, while still a member of the Alberta Golden Bears, Sorochan was signed by the Edmonton Oilers to a National Hockey League amateur try-out agreement,[3] and was dressed, but did not play, as the Oilers' backup goaltender for the December 21, 2007 game against the New Jersey Devils when the Oilers' starter Dwayne Roloson was sidelined with influenza.[4]

Sorochan made his professional debut on October 18, 2009 playing in net for the Springfield Falcons in a 6-1 loss to the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL.[5]
