[edit] Professional

In spring of 2003, Antoniuk signed with the Portland Timbers of the USL First Division. He spent three seasons in Portland, his most productive coming in 2005 when he scored thirteen goals in twenty-four games. On October 31, 2003, Antoniuk signed, with the permission of the Timbers, a two year contract with the Milwaukee Wave of Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). He played only three games with the Wave before being traded to the San Diego Sockers where he scored two goals in eight games. The Sockers folded during the 2004-2005 season and the Philadelphia KiXX selected Antoniuk in the first round of the dispersal draft, held January 5, 2005.[1] Antoniuk signed with the KiXX on January 28, 2005. Following the 2005 outdoor season, Antoniuk became a free agent and signed with the Vancouver Whitecaps on February 1, 2006. The Vancouvers then traded Antoniuk to the Montreal Impact for Eduardo Sebrango on March 28th. He spent the 2006 season with Montreal, scoring only three goals in nineteen games, most coming off the bench. The Impact traded Antoniuk and Mauricio Salles to the Atlanta Silverbacks for Fabian Dawkins and Jason McLoughlin. In 2007, he led the USL-1 in points, scoring seven goals and adding a league leading nine assists, as the Silverbacks went to the USL-1 championship game. Antoniuk was selected as a first team All Star. In the fall of 2007, he returned to the indoor circuit with the New Jersey Ironmen of MISL. On November 7, 2007, the Carolina RailHawks signed Antoniuk for the 2008 season.[2] He scored his first goal with the RailHawks in a 1-0 victory at Miami FC on May 4, 2008.
