Before Northern Michigan, Frye played hockey at the University of Alaska-Anchorage for the 2019-2020 season, where he played 34 games. Over Frye’s three seasons in the North American Hockey League (NAHL), he played for the Topeka Roadrunners, Philadelphia Rebels, and Jamestown Rebels. Frye scored 118 points (60g-58a) during his time in the NAHL.
