IN THE FORGE
JAKE SALUS.
JAKE'S STORY.
Jake Salus grew up in south Orange County where access to hockey wasn't guaranteed. He found his way into the game anyway — and never left. A coaching career followed, and coaching led to a bigger question: Why doesn't OC have elite training infrastructure that matches the talent here?
Ice Forge is the answer. Built by someone who knows what it means to want access and not have it, Jake created a space where that barrier no longer exists. When he's not at Ice Forge, he's behind the bench with the Anaheim Lady Ducks — still in the game, still developing players.
