Juuso Hietanen (born 14 June 1985) is a Finnish professional ice hockey defenceman for HPK of the Liiga.
Playing career[edit]
Hietanen made his SM-liiga debut with HPK during the 2003–04 season, and two years later he became a regular player on the team. He also visited Pelicans early in his career and was part of the Finnish national junior team in the 2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. At the time of his SM-liiga debut, he was the first third generation player in the top level of Finnish ice hockey.[1] In 2006 he celebrated the championship with HPK. He scored two goals and an assist in the second final, but HPK suffered its only loss in the series.
In 2007, he moved to Sweden to play in the Elitserien with Brynäs IF and for 2010–11 season he signed with HV71.
Hietanen played in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) during 2011 to 2021, first with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod and later with Dynamo Moscow.
After 15 seasons abroad, Hietanen opted to return to Finland as a free agent and re-joined original club, HPK of the Liiga, on an optional three-year contract on 22 April 2022.[2]
