A fourth round draft pick of the Montreal Canadiens in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, Tetrault played five seasons of junior hockey with the WHL Brandon Wheat Kings before he turned professional in the 2000-01 season with the Austin IceBats. In the 2001-02 season, he again skated with the IceBats and was named Most Outstanding Defenseman in the Central Hockey League.

He then continued his career in the Central Hockey League, playing parts of two seasons with the New Mexico Scorpions and three years with the Wichita Thunder.
