Playing career

Antonietti made his National League A debut playing with Genève-Servette HC during the 2009–10 NLA season.[1]

After a rather unsuccessful 2016–17 season with Lausanne where he tallied only 8 points in 42 games, he was a healthy scratch for most of the 2017 playoffs. At the end of the season, Lausanne decided not to offer him any contract extension, allowing him to agree to a one-year deal with the Dragons de Rouen of the French Ligue Magnus. On January 5, 2018, Antonietti decided to leave the rather weak Ligue Magnus after having tallied 35 points (12 goals) in 31 games, a career-high for him in a single season, even though he did not play a full season in Rouen. This allowed him to join back Lausanne HC and played his first game of the season on January 6, 2018, against EHC Kloten, failing to score a single point.

On April 19, 2018, Antonietti agreed to a two-year contract extension with Lausanne HC worth CHF 900,000.

On April 18, 2020, Antonietti was signed to a one-year contract extension by Lausanne HC.

On February 3, 2021, it was announced that Antonietti would return to Genève-Servette for the 2021-22 season, joining the team on a two-year deal.[2]

Personal life

He is the older brother of HC Lugano defenseman, Eliot Antonietti.
