Growing up, Koivuniemi was an exceptional athlete, starring in three sports in high school: basketball, hockey, and soccer.

Koivuniemi joined the PBA in 1999. He had some initial success, but his first big season did not come until the 2001–02 season when he entered 27 events, cashed in 20, made match play 15 times, made the TV finals three times, and won one title. Koivuniemi raised the bar in the 2003–04 season, when he was awarded PBA Player of the Year honors (joining Venezuela’s Amleto Monacelli as the only international players so honored at that time) and also won the PBA’s George Young High Average Award. During that season he entered 20 events, cashed in 16, made match play 13 times, made TV seven times, and won two titles. It was during this season that Koivuniemi bowled the 16th-ever televised 300 game in PBA Tour history, in a match against Jason Couch.
