Playing in a fourth line checking role, he finished the year with seven goals and 11 points in 40 games.[3][4]
Following his selection in the 2024 NHL entry draft by the Dallas Stars, Hemming was later signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the club on 16 July 2024.[5]
In late July 2024, Hemming signed with the Barrie Colts in the OHL for the 2024–25 season.[6]

Representing Finland at the 2024 World Junior Championships, Hemming had two assists and averaged 8:45 through seven games. Finland would finish in fourth place.[7]
