Carter Kipp has his immediate future mapped out and the 17-year-old, Grade 12 student at Notre Dame couldn’t be happier or more relieved.

Kipp has committed to play baseball at Niagara University in the fall of 2025 and can’t wait to get started on his new journey.

“It’s pretty cool because it really weighs down on you for a while,” Kipp said. “There were a lot of times when I was really unsure what to do so it’s really nice to know it’s over with. It’s nice to just focus on baseball a little bit more.

“I’m super excited. It’s awesome to get the opportunity.”

Kipp, who plays both corner infield positions, began talks with Niagara after the Purple Eagles coaching staff noticed him while playing in the Canadian Premier Baseball League All-Star game last summer.

“I played really well there and they started talking to me,” Kipp said.

Kipp sent Niagara video of himself and then received a call before Christmas with an offer to attend the Division 1 school located in Lewiston, N.Y.

Kipp said it took some soul searching with his parents, Stuart and Tanya Kipp, before finally decided to commit.

“It was a lot thinking. I had to think about what I had to take there so I talked to my parents a lot and went to visit the school,” he said. “It took about a month but I feel it’s the right decision.”
