If you're curious, Tropmann grew up as a Kolner Haie fanatic and was part of the crew, playing both DEL and DEL2 through their subsidiary, EC Bad Nauheim. His international career has been quite the ride, as he represented various German national teams at the U20 and U18 levels.
In terms of performance, during the 2023-24 season, Tropmann shone with Kölner Junghaie U20 in the DNL U20, scoring a total of 23 points in just 16 games. The following season, he made seven appearances for Kölner Haie in the DEL and racked up 12 points in 34 DEL2 games with EC Bad Nauheim. International competition hasn't been a stranger to Tropmann, either, with a competitive stint serving as the German U20's captain during the Canadian World Juniors earlier this year.
Tropmann's move to ERC Ingolstadt may just be the career kickstart he's been waiting for, considering the two-year contract and consistent DEL play on the horizon. This opportunity could further expedite his development into a top-notch defensive prospect in German hockey.
