The 2021-22 season will be assistant coach Jake Bobrowski’s first season on the Golden Gophers women’s hockey coaching staff.
Bobrowski joins the Minnesota coaching staff from Hamline University, where he coached the Pipers to back-to-back Frozen Fours and the 2019 National Championship game as an assistant coach. He served on Natalie Darwitz’s staff since their arrival at Hamline in 2015-16.
Prior to his time at Hamline, the St. Paul native was the head coach of Hill-Murray’s junior varsity girls hockey team and assistant coach of the Pioneers’ varsity team. During his seven seasons with Hill-Murray, the Pioneers appeared in five MSHSL Class AA State Tournaments. The Pioneers won the state championship in 2014, their first in program history, and 2015 and were runners-up in 2013. Hill-Murray’s junior varsity team won conference championships each year he was head coach. His coaching experience also includes a strong background in youth hockey. In 2007-08, Bobrowski served as head coach of the U12 Western Wisconsin Stars girls youth program. The team finished as state runner-up that season. Bobrowski’s specialty at Hamline was recruitment. As head recruiter, he recruited seven All-Americans and the 2019 AHCA National Player of the Year.
During his time at Hamline, Bobrowski helped lead the Pipers to the NCAA D-III Frozen Four in 2018 and NCAA D-III National Runners-Up in 2019. In his first season at Hamline, the team posted a 9-13-3 record, the most wins by the program in nearly a decade. In the 2017-18 season, Hamline made the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history and finished third. The next season, Hamline posted a program record 23 wins and advanced all the way to the NCAA D-III Championship game. This was the first time a MIAC team had reached the national championship. In six seasons under Bobrowski, Hamline went 88-41-14 overall and 58-26-9 in the MIAC.
