Playing career
Nielikäinen has played for numerous teams in the Finnish SM-liiga; these include Kärpät, HIFK and HPK.
Nielikäinen also played one season in East Coast Hockey League for the Miami Matadors and one season for the British team the Manchester Storm.
Style of play
Nielikäinen is not a usual Finnish hockey player when it comes to playing. Nielikäinen is known for serving as an enforcer for his team. Nielikäinen also is not shy when it comes to dropping gloves and scrapping on the ice.
Nielikäinen's most famous rivalries include the one with fellow SM-liiga player Sami Helenius and his single fight against NHL-enforcer Ryan Vandenbusche in the 2005/06 season for which HIFK and Jokerit got fined 15.000 euros/team.
