Playing career

Not selected in the NHL draft in 2011, Zanette signed as a free agent with the Rockford Ice Hogs of the American Hockey League for the 2011–12 season, where he started the season until assigned to the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL. [1]

With no substantial North American offers, he opted for HC Asiago of the Italian Serie A. [2]

After two successful seasons with Asiago, Zanette left as a free agent, along with brother Marc, to sign with Italian-based club HC Bolzano of the Austrian Hockey League on August 9, 2014. [3] Zanette successfully completed his trial and signed a one-year contract while his brother failed to catch on.

After his contract expired with Asiago, Zanette joined Scottish club, Edinburgh Capitals of the Elite Ice Hockey League, on a two-year contract. [4] After just 35 games, Zanette's contract was terminated "by mutual consent." He then re-joined former club, HC Asiago, for the balance of the Italian 2015–16 season.

On July 21, 2016, Zanette returned to North America, signing a one-year ECHL contract with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, [5] where he scored 20 points before being traded to the Indy Fuel on January 12, 2017. [6]
