A product of Union Pines High School, Nick is scheduled to graduate at the end of the current semester with an Associate Arts Degree. East Carolina, UNC-Wilmington and the University of South Carolina are on the list of schools where he’d like to continue the pursuit of a career in broadcast journalism. Going back to his early youth, Bass’s non-student activities included roller hockey, both for recreation and competing in youth and more recently in adult leagues. That interest, coupled with aspirations to become a journalist, have led him to become a contributor to the Cardiac Canes, Canes Prospects and Dobber Prospects, Carolina Hurricanes fan sites.
