Hovi played with the Calgary Inferno of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) for the 2018–19 season.
Coincidentally, she would score the first goal of her CWHL career against her Finnish national team teammate, Noora Räty, in a game versus the Shenzhen KRS Rays.
During the 2018–19 season, she served as assistant coach to the Manitoba Bisons women's ice hockey program.

In her native Finland, Hovi played in the Naisten SM-sarja (Women's Finnish Championship Series) with Ylöjärvi Ilves, Tampereen Ilves, HPK Hameenlinna, and KalPa Kuopio.
