Noel Prefontaine was drafted by Toronto in the 1998 CFL college draft. After playing three seasons with the Argos, Prefontaine was released after the 2000 season, but resigned in August 2001. Prefontaine signed with the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL after the 2003 season, but returned to Toronto in June of 2004. Prefontaine was traded to Edmonton after the 2007 season when the Argos signed Mike Vanderjagt who returned to the CFL after a very successful stint in the NFL.
After two a bit seasons with the Eskimos, Prefontaine was reobtained by the Argos partway t hrough the 2010 season. Prefontaine remained with the Argos through the end of the 2012 season. In his last season in 2012, Prefontaine dressed in only 7 games due to injuries. Prefontaine lost the placekicking job to the younger leg of Swayze Waters who replace him, but returned to do the punting for the double blue. Prefontaine would win a Grey Cup with the Argos in thatg final season.
Prefontaine was an nine time East All-Star as a punter (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2011), a three time East All-Star as a placekicker (2002, 2004, 2005), and a 5 time CFL All-Star as a punter (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004).
