Heinola has appeared in 111 career AHL games, all with Manitoba, while recording 75 points (13G, 62A). He ranks 12th in franchise history in points for a defenceman. Heinola also has 11 points (1G, 10A) in 35 games of NHL experience with Winnipeg.
Heinola was a first round pick (20th overall) of the Winnipeg Jets in the 2019 NHL Draft.
