Cipriani began his career in 1995 with the New Hampshire Ramblers of the USISL Pro League.[1] In 1996, he signed with St. Catharines Wolves of the Canadian National Soccer League. He made his debut for the club on June 2, 1996 in a match against Toronto Italia.[2] In his debut season with St. Catharines he captured the Umbro Cup by finishing first in the cup standings.[3] The following season the team won the regular season championship, and the CNSL Championship. He contributed in the clubs playoff run by recording two goals in the finals against Toronto Supra.[4]

He helped the Wolves repeat their success when the club joined the Canadian Professional Soccer League by winning the CPSL Championship in the 1998, and 2001 season.[5][6] In 2002, Cipriani signed with newly expansion franchise the Hamilton Thunder.
