A Canadian of Italian descent, he was named to the Italian national team, representing the country at three World Championships (two in Group B, 1992 in the highest division).
From 1994 to 1998, Simioni played for Vojens IK, continuing his scoring prowess in the Danish league. He then spent the 1998-99 campaign with the Cardiff Devils of the British Ice Hockey Superleague and the 1999-00 season with the Odense Bulldogs of Denmark. In Odense, he served as player-coach and put an end to his playing career in the year 2000.
