Playing career[edit]

Rivera made his National League (NL) debut playing with Genève-Servette HC during the 2003–04 NL playoffs.[1]

On September 15, 2015, he was traded to Geneva's rival, Fribourg-Gotteron, for cash consideration.[2]

On July 23, 2018, Rivera was released by Gottéron despite a valid contract with the team for the 2018/19 season. He eventually retired from professional hockey following the 2017/18 season. Rivera went on to play two more seasons with two different amateur teams in the Geneva area.
