==Playing career==
Repo first played as a youth at the Under 16 level as a 14-year old in his native Finland, with hometown club, Lahti Pelicans. In showing elite development within the Pelicans program he eventually made his Liiga debut playing with Pelicans during the 2014–15 season. He ended the season, playing the latter half in the North American junior system with the Sioux City Musketeers in the United States Hockey League, however was passed over in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
In the beginning of his third season with the Pelicans in 2016–17, Repo was transferred to contending Liiga club, Tappara on 24 October 2016. Playing alongside future Panthers prospect Henrik Haapala, Repo increased his offensive output to post a season best of 24 assists and 35 points in 54 games. In the post-season, he co-led the league with 6 goals in helping Tappara claim the Liiga Championship.
As an overage prospect, Repo's impressive year was capped when he was selected by the Florida Panthers in the sixth round, 184th overall, in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. On 3 July 2017, he was promptly signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Panthers. After attending the Panthers 2017 training camp and partaking in the pre-season, Repo was reassigned to continue his development on loan with Tappara for the 2017–18 season on 29 September 2017.
