The Tuula Puputti Award () is an ice hockey trophy awarded seasonally by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association to the best goaltender of the Auroraliiga (called the Naisten SM-sarja during 1982 to 2017 and Naisten Liiga during 2017 to 2024).
It is named after Tuula Puputti, the first Olympic goaltender of the Finnish women's national team and former general manager of the Finnish women's national ice hockey program. Best goaltender in the Naisten SM-saija was first awarded in the 2005âÂÂ06 season, to Maija Hassinen-Sullanmaa () of Ilves Tampere. The award was named in honor of Tuula Puputti during the 2010âÂÂ11 season.
Only three players have won the award more than once: Maija Hassinen-Sullanmaa, Anni Keisala, and Meeri Räisänen. Räisänen has been named best goaltender three times, twice with JYP Jyväskylä, in 2012âÂÂ13 and 2013âÂÂ14, and with HPK Hämeenlinna in 2017âÂÂ18. The record for most wins is four and is jointly held by Hassinen-Sullanmaa and Keisala. Hassinen-Sullanmaa won the trophy in 2005âÂÂ06 and 2007âÂÂ08 with Ilves Tampere and in 2008âÂÂ09 and 2010âÂÂ11 with HPK Hämeenlinna. Keisala was awarded while playing with Team Kuortane in 2014âÂÂ15 and 2015âÂÂ16, and with Ilves Tampere in 2020âÂÂ21 and 2021âÂÂ22.
Polish-Australian goaltender Olivia Last was the first international player to receive the award, which she won while playing with TPS Turku in 2023âÂÂ24.
