He won seven times the Scudetto: five with Bolzano, and one with both Devils and Asiago. With Asiago Topatigh won also a Supercoppa italiana and two times the Coppa Italia.
Topatigh, also known as Il falco di Gallio ("The Hawk of Gallio"), played from 1990 until 2002 also in the Blue Team, the Italian national ice hockey team.
