Puempel's 2009–10 season was a noteworthy rookie OHL season. He led all OHL rookies in goals and points and was second on his team in scoring. His point totals landed him at 39th in overall league scoring and he won the Emms Family Award as well as the CHL Rookie of the Year award.[2] In his second season with the Petes, he was hampered by a back injury just before the season and a bone chip on his hip that required surgery and ended his season prematurely.[3].
On December 8, 2011, Puempel was suspended for 8 games for a hit to the head of Oshawa Generals forward Sebastian Uvira during a game against the Oshawa Generals.[4]
Puempel signed an entry level contract with the Senators on December 29, 2011[5].
