Benjamin Antonietti (born 7 July 1991) is a Swiss former professional ice hockey player. He spent most of his career with Genève-Servette HC and Lausanne HC of the National League (NL). He also briefly played with the Dragons de Rouen of the French league.
Playing career
[edit]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 5 January 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 6 January 2018 against EHC Kloten, failing to score a single point.
On 19 April 2018 Antonietti agreed to a two-year contract extension with Lausanne HC worth CHF 900,000. On 18 April 2020 Antonietti was signed to a one-year contract extension by Lausanne HC.
On 3 February 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
[edit]He is the older brother of EHC Olten defenseman, Eliot Antonietti.
