Meet Our Emcee!

Meghan Ryan Lamontagne

Meghan is a true East and West Coast Traveler. Born in New Hampshire, she attended college at Emerson in Boston, before she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her career in broadcasting. In her 10 years in LA, she worked for E!, Freeform, ABC, and much more.

Now she finds herself in Raleigh where her passion for the city has flourished. Listen to her middays on Mix 101.5 and check out her YouTube series "Check It Out Carolina." Then be sure to catch her as the in-arena host for the Carolina Hurricanes at every home game during the season! 

Growing up in New England, being an avid lover of sports (particularly hockey and football) is in her blood. To continue her exploration of her love of sports, she works with the NC Courage Women’s Soccer as the in-arena host.  

When she’s not working, she enjoys wineries and coffee shops. She also enjoys hanging out with her friends, and exploring new things to do in the Raleigh area! Even though Meghan has lived in some big cities, she is just a small town girl, living in a big world!
