For years, Mike Farwell has been far more than just a play-by-play announcer; he has been the heartbeat of Kitchener Rangers hockey on the radio. His passion, local knowledge, and iconic calls have brought the game to life for thousands of fans across Waterloo Region who tune in every game night.

​Beyond the broadcast booth, Mike’s deep connection to the local community and his tireless charitable work represent the very best of what the Kitchener Rangers organization stands for. Replacing or shifting his role in the broadcast booth strips away a vital connection between the team, its history, and its fanbase.

Kitchener Rangers hockey is more than just a game—it's a legacy. Mike Farwell's contributions extend beyond his role as an announcer; he has consistently supported our community, offering his time to local causes and raising awareness for crucial issues, demonstrating the foundational character traits we celebrate as a community. It is rare to find someone so integrally involved and so passionately dedicated to both the sport and the people of Kitchener.

Losing Mike's voice from the broadcast wouldn’t just mean losing a commentator; it would mean losing a piece of our community identity. It’s pivotal that we preserve not just a voice, but a legacy, built on years of service, dedication, and unwavering enthusiasm for our beloved Rangers.
