Pitton played three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Brampton Battalion. He played in 124 OHL regular season games, compiling a record of 64–46–6.

After completing his junior career in 2008, Pitton played one game in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Springfield Falcons, the Oilers' minor league affiliates. He gave up one goal, in 12 minutes of playing time.
