Cologne defender transfers to FC Ingolstadt, joining their defensive squad - Defense personnel transferred from Cologne to ERC Ingolstadt
Hey there, ice hockey fans! Time to get pumped - ERC Ingolstadt just nabbed a rising star, defender Edwin Tropmann, straight from Kölner Haie. The club from the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) made the exciting announcement via a statement. Let's dive into Tropmann's background and what this move means for both clubs.
Tropmann, a 19-year-old German talent, has inked a two-year contract with ERC Ingolstadt. The DEL hierarchy must have taken notice of his growth; last season saw him clock seven games in the big leagues and an impressive 37 games for EC Bad Nauheim, a partner team in the DEL2.
With a rich history of representing Germany's junior national teams and even leading his U20 team as captain at the World Championships in Canada, Tropmann demonstrates a tremendous dedication to the sport. His impressive career trajectory and posting strong performances on the international stage have made him a promising prospect for the DEL.
When it comes to physicality, Tropmann measures up at 6'4" (194 cm) and weighs in at 203 lbs (92 kg), an imposing figure on the ice. He's been a consistent presence in the DEL scene since around 2020, making the shift from Kölner Haie to ERC Ingolstadt in 2025. His offensive skills are intriguing, although some could argue he's still in development - in his last ten DEL games, Tropmann notched two goals and zero assists, adding up to a grand total of two points, while his plus-minus rating was -4[1].
This transfer marks a fresh chapter in Tropmann's career, and as one of the top German defensemen, he's definitely got eyes on him. Kölner Haie is surely a bit miffed, while ERC Ingolstadt is counting down the days until their new recruit hits the ice. You bet your skates, we'll be keeping tabs on Tropmann and his tenure with ERC Ingolstadt in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga!
