As a youth, Costello played in the 1976 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Boston.[2]

He was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1981 NHL Entry Draft, but traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1982 for Darryl Sittler.[3] Costello was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, but grew up in Natick, Massachusetts.

Costello spent part of the 1983-84 season with the United States National Team. He spent the following three years in the Leafs organisation, in which he played a total of 12 games in the NHL, but spent most of his time in the American Hockey League. He later played professionally in Finland, Germany and Switzerland.
