Mike Balsom with The Niagara-on-the-Lake Local wrote a feature about Michael Frena who graduated from NC’s Broadcasting – Radio, Television and Film program in 2018. Frena has been named the play-by-play announcer for the Niagara Predators, the Greater Metro Jr. A Hockey League’s local team, during the 2021-2022 season.

The article highlights Frena’s time at the College where he gained experience doing play-by-play, colour commentary and pre and post-game interviews for sporting events including NC Knights basketball games and Junior B hockey games across Niagara.
