White Bear Lake High School Wrestling

Today, we came together to celebrate the life of WBL Wrestling alumnus and 2009 graduate Kyle Orloske.

Kyle was kind and an incredible teammate who brought warmth to every moment and memory we shared.

As we remember Kyle today, let us honor his legacy by embracing the values he cherished: compassion and family. He taught us that wrestling is more than just a sport; it’s about brotherhood, everlasting bonds, and camaraderie.

We will deeply miss him and the way he brightened our days.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Kyle. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts and in our team.
