Playing career
Undrafted, Zanette previously signed with the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League for the 2011–12 season, subsequently splitting the year between the IceHogs and the Toledo Walleye.[1]
With no substantial North American offers, he opted to continue his career in following his Italian heritage, with HC Asiago of the Serie A.[2]
After two successful seasons with Asiago, Zanette left as a free agent, along with brother Marc, to sign an initial trail contract with fellow Italian club HC Bolzano, who competed in the Austrian EBEL on August 9, 2014.[3] Zanette completed his trial and was signed to a one-year contract whilst Marc departed.
After his contract expired with Asiago, Zanette joined Scottish club, Edinburgh Capitals, of the Elite Ice Hockey League on a two-year contract.[4]
