Playing career
editPuistola made his Liiga debut for Tappara during the 2018–19 Liiga season, playing 16 games and registering one assist.[1] He was drafted 73rd overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
During his second season with Tappara in 2019–20, Puistola played 24 games, notching just two assists, after a stint in the Mestis, Puistola was loaned to fellow Liiga clubs, Jukurit and KooKoo, to complete the season.
On 26 March 2020, Puistola left Tappara out of contract and transferred to JYP Jyväskylä signing a two-year contract.[2]
During the 2022–23 season, having returned to Jukurit and in the midst of setting new career offensive highs, Puistola's NHL rights were traded by the Hurricanes to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Jesse Puljujärvi on 28 February 2023.[3]
After six seasons in the Liiga, Puistola opted to move abroad in securing a two-year contract with Swedish club, Örebro HK of the SHL, on 7 May 2024.[4]
