Following the 2007 season, Circelli turned professional with the Wichita Thunder of the Central Hockey League. After eight games, he was acquired by the Odessa Jackalopes.

After two seasons with Gap, Circelli opted to return to the CHL with the Missouri Mavericks on July 17, 2014.[2]

On October 7, 2014, soon before the 2014–15 Central Hockey League season was set to begin, it was announced that the Central Hockey League ceased operations and the Mavericks, along with the Allen Americans, Brampton Beast, Quad City Mallards, Rapid City Rush, Tulsa Oilers, and Wichita Thunder, were all admitted to the ECHL for the 2014–15 ECHL season.[3] All Central Hockey League contracts that had already been signed by players for the 2014-15 Central Hockey League season were immediately nullified.[4]

On October 17, 2014, Circelli signed with the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts of the Newfoundland Senior Hockey League.[5]
