SLP Hockey History All-Time Captains and Lists St. Louis Park Boys Hockey Alumni - Facebook Group Jake Fobbe State Champion Manager   Long-Time Manager Wins 5th Consecutive State Championship 1/29/12 When you attend a St. Louis Park Boys Hockey practice or game over the last 11 years, there is one face you always see, manager Jake Fobbe. Fobbe began managing during the 02-03 season and has continued through 2022. On January 29th, 2012, in Golden Valley, Fobbe and his floor hockey team called the OMG Storm won their fifth consecutive state Special Olympics championship. Fobbe anchored the defense as he has over the last five seasons and recorded two shots on goal nearly scoring a goal. His teammates broke open a scoreless tie in the third period with four goals to give the Storm a 4-1 win. The celebration was on. Fobbe's father, Dan has served as the teams coach over the years and was a little nervous as the game remained scoreless. "It is a great group of kids, I'm so happy for them." Jake was the manager for the last Park state tourney appearance in 2003 and worked under Tim Donahue, Paul Olson, and Donnie Williams and was very happy to continue in his role with Shjon Podein taking over as head coach this year. His commitment to managing is fantastic as he walks 8-9 blocks home after nearly every practice or game regardless of the weather. He is at the rink to help with jerseys, water bottles, any errands or needs the players or coaches have. He managed the 2012 team with Paige Nagel (4th year) and Julia Rose (3rd year). On December 4, 2018, on home ice, the Orioles beat Osseo 7-3, earning Jake the milestone of his 200th career win. During the 2022-2023 season, Jake's 20th year managing the Orioles hockey team, he would earn his 250th career win on January 26, 2023 when the Orioles would defeat the Woodbury Royals in a come from behind 4-3 victory. He is a true St. Louis Park All-Star. Oriole Alumni Accomplishments 3 NHL Draft Picks - College Hockey Players
