Playing career
Coming through the youth system of HIFK, he spent two years in Canada, playing for the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL (2010-2012), before returning to his native Finland. Parkkonen made his SM-liiga debut playing with Ässät during the 2012–13 SM-liiga season.[1] Following a three-year stint at Ässät, Parkkonen signed with Lausitzer Füchse of Germany’s second division DEL2.
