Carter Hall will suit up for the Northeast Community College Hawks this September after completing his Royals career.  The Hawks play in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference and finished the 2022 season with a record of 39-19.  A junior college in a competitive conference like the ICCAC needs to recruit players with the potential to move on and this season the Hawks had 15 of 16 sophomores move on to Div I & II schools.  “We are excited to have Carter with us,” said Hawks head coach Marcus Clapp.  “We expect him to come in and compete to be our starting catcher.  We like his bat and think it can play right away.”

Carter hails from Campbell River and began his 5 years with the Royals on the Bantam AA team.  From there he progressed to the Bantam PBL team followed by three years on the Senior Royals roster.  “Coach Clapp contacted me about playing ball at Northeast Community College after watching my recruitment videos on FieldLevel. I knew it was a great opportunity to continue playing ball,” said Hall.  “I’m looking forward to the high level of ball being played as well as meeting new team mates and coaches.”  Asked for his most memorable moment Royals moment Hall replied, ”My most memorable game this season was our comeback win against the #1 team North Delta Blue Jays.”  “My highlight with the Royals was being able to play in a high level league with lifelong friends and being able to make new ones along the way.”

“Really proud to see Carter continue his baseball career,” said Royals head coach Frank Kaluzniak.  “Carter has been with the program since bantam and has showed great improvement throughout his time with the Royals.  He is a tremendous athlete and I wish him the best moving forward in his college career.”
