Playing career
Junior
Hämeenaho started playing hockey at the age of four. His youth club was Kajaanin Hokki and played there until the spring of 2018, when Hämeenaho and his older brother Veikka moved to Ylivieskan Jääkarhut's U16 team at the age of 13, when Hokki had difficulties assembling a U16 team. The entire Hämeenaho family also moved to Ylivieska. Hämeenaho was the team's top scorer in both the U16 Mestis qualifiers with 46 points and the U16 Mestis with 27 points.
Entering the 2019–20 season, Hämeenaho, along with his brother Veikka and defenseman Valtteri Viirret, transferred from YJK to HC Ässät Pori through a tryout when the club's head coach Jaakko Välimaa contacted them. The entire Hämeenaho family moved to Pori to follow the brothers' hockey career. Lenni Hämeenaho was the team's top point scorer, goal scorer and assister in the U16 SM-sarja qualifiers with 50 points. In the U16 SM-sarja, he led the team in goals tied with Juuso Rajala with ten goals. In the 2020–2021 season, Hämeenaho led the U18 SM-sarja in points, goals and assists with 23 goals and 37 assists totaling 60 points. He scored 14 more points than his teammate Jesperi Kaukonen, who finished second in points, but the Matti Hagman Award, which is given to the best point scorer, was not awarded as COVID-19 restrictions reduced the number of games for some teams. However, Hämeenaho was awarded the Esa Tikkanen Award as the best player in the entire U18 SM-sarja and was selected to the first All-Star team.
In the 2021–2022 season, Hämeenaho was the second-best goal scorer and fourth-best in points of the Ässät U20 team with 21 goals and 37 points. He shared third place in the entire U20 SM-sarja with Vili Munkki of HC TPS, Oskari Luoto of Tappara and Tomi Palo of HPK. Hämeenaho was chosen as the rookie of the month in November. He also made his senior debut during the season, when in January 2022, Ässät loaned Hämeenaho and six other players to the Mestis team Kokkolan Hermes on to gain experience while the Ässät U20 team's games were on hiatus due to COVID-19 restrictions. Hämeenaho played three regular season games there without scoring any points.
