He played as a hockey player in the lower Finnish leagues. Already at an early age Tupamyaki took up coaching activities. After going through youth and youth hockey, the young specialist got the opportunity to work with the team of the second Finnish league KeuPa. Soon, the coach headed the Estonian hockey team . For the first time in many years, Tupamyaki managed to gain a foothold with the “Baltic” in the First Division of the World Cup . In the 2017/18 season, the mentor was in charge of the Bretsenwald Autorsrian and took 10th place with him in the regular season. With the team, he did not get into the playoffs, behind the exit zone in the second stage of the championship by only 3 points.
