Battaglia was drafted by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the sixth round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. Growing up, Bates played hockey in Park Ridge, IL, under Coach Tom Godwin. He played on the three-time NCAA National Championship Lake Superior State University Lakers from 1994-97.

On March 18, 1997, Battaglia was traded by the Mighty Ducks to the Hartford Whalers. He made his professional debut in the 1997-98 season with the Beast of New Haven of the AHL before making his NHL debut with the Carolina Hurricanes in their inaugural season.
