EHC Olten announced the retirement of Eliot Antonietti last night on their Instagram account. The defenseman will hang up his skates at the end of the season. The 33-year-old has been playing for the Swiss League team since 2021.
Antonietti is a product of Genève-Servette HC's organization and made his debut as a professional hockey player with them in the 2010-11 season. For the majority of his career, he had been under contract with the Grenats; he only suited up on loan for HC Ajoie and the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers. He joined HC Lugano in 2020 and then signed with Olten in 2021. In the 2021-22 season, he also suited up in one game (recording one goal) for the SCL Tigers.
Antonietti revealed his next project to the "Oltner Tagblatt": "If I pass all my exams, I will start the police academy in Geneva next summer."
