Playing career

Antonietti made his National League debut playing with Genève-Servette HC during the 2010-11 season.[1]

Antonietti began the 2017–18 season with HC Ajoie of the Swiss League (SL) as he failed to make the National League team, he scored 1 goal in 10 games before joining Geneva for 2 games. He sustained a lower-body injury in November 2017 and was put on the trade block by Geneva in order to get rid of his remaining CHF 650K salary.[2] Antonietti unexpectedly agreed to a two-year contract extension with Geneva on 27 July 2018. He appeared in only 23 NL games the following season, putting up 1 assist.

Antonietti began the 2019–20 season as a healthy scratch with Geneva before being loaned to the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers on October 9, 2019. On November 13, 2019, the Lakers released Antonietti, after he played 5 games (0 points) with the team. He subsequently returned to Geneva as a healthy scratch. Antonietti left Geneva at the conclusion of the shortened 2019-20 season.

On June 15, 2020, Antonietti was offered a professional try-out contract by HC Lugano to attend training camp in August 2020.[3] He was immediately loaned to Lugano's affiliate, the Ticino Rockets, to play preseason games. On September 16, 2020, Antonietti was signed to a one-year two-way contract by HC Lugano.[4]
