Career

Toni Mäkiaho began his career as a hockey player in the youth of Ilves Tampere , for whom he was active from 1992 to 1994. Then the attacker received a contract with HPK Hämeenlinna , for which he made his debut in the SM-liiga in the 1994/95 season , and with which he reached third place in the championship in 1997. In the summer of 1998, the right-handed player moved to their league rivals HIFK Helsinki , for whom he ran for four more seasons in the SM-liiga. After a short-term engagement with Tappara Tampere at the beginning of the 2002/03 season , he ended the season with the Pelicans Lahti . There he first played the following year before returning to HPK Hämeenlinna, with whom he was third again in 2005. Then Mäkiaho first went to other European countries, where he in 2005/06 for both the Malmo Redhawks of the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan and for Friborg-Gottéron from the Swiss National League A played.

After only one year abroad, Mäkiaho returned once more to HPK Hämeenlinna, with whom he clearly lost 6-0 to the Russian club Ak Bars Kazan in the 2007 final of the IIHF European Champions Cup . In the 2007/08 season the winger played both for HPK and for HK Lada Tolyatti in the Russian Super League and his ex-club from the Swiss NLA, Friborg-Gottéron. The 2008/09 season began for the Finn in the Swedish Elitserien at Timrå IK before he moved to the Finnish SM-liiga to KalPa Kuopio .

At the beginning of the 2009/10 season Mäkiaho was loaned to the HKm Zvolen , for whom he completed nine games in the Slovakian extra league . He returned to KalPa at the end of October 2009 before his contract was terminated in December of the same year. It wasn't until January 2010 that he found a new club with the Espoo Blues . After his contract was not renewed at the end of the season and Mäkiaho was initially without a club, he signed a contract with the Finnish second division club Kiekko-Vantaa in October 2010 . There he became team captain and scored 32 points in 28 games before returning to the SM-liiga at short notice and playing five games for Oulun Kärpät .
