Playing career

LeKi Lempäälä (2003-04)

Marko Anttila played his first adult ice hockey games during the 2003-04 season. Anttila's first team was his hometown team Lempäälän Kisa of Lempäälä.

Anttila scored 38 points in 22 Suomi-sarja regular season games during his debut season. Though playing in th 3rd highest level in Finland, Anttila was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft while he was playing for LeKi. It is believed that Anttila's connections with Chicago's scout for Finland, Sakari Pietila, was the reason why he was drafted (it is probable that almost no one else in the draft event had heard of him). His large size (over 6'7 ft tall) combined to his hard slapshot were the most convincing factors that influenced Sakari Pietila suggested him to the Blackhawks.

Ilves (2004-2011)

After being drafted while playing for small town's team, Anttila soon was reckoned as a player to invest on. Marko Anttila was contracted by Ilves in 2004.
