Playing career
Antipov began playing for Torpedo Yaroslavl, playing on their junior team. He was then drafted 103rd overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft and Antipov was promoted to the senior team. In 1999, Antipov signed with the Maple Leafs organization and in a two-year stay he had spells in the American Hockey League with the St. John's Maple Leafs, the ECHL with the South Carolina Stingrays and the International Hockey League with the Long Beach Ice Dogs but never managed to play in the National Hockey League.
