Torsten Ankert (born June 22, 1988) is a German professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently playing for the Iserlohn Roosters in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Playing career[]

After coming up through the junior ranks within Kölner Haie, he made his professional debut in the DEL, with Haie, in the 2005–06 season.[1] He played his first 12 professional seasons in Cologne, before leaving as a free agent to sign a two-year contract with fellow German outfit, Grizzlys Wolfsburg of the DEL on April 27, 2017.[2]

In the final year of his contract with Wolfsburg, Ankert made just 7 appearances with the club in the 2018–19 season, before terminating his contract to join fellow DEL club, Krefeld Pinguine, on October 10, 2018.[3] Establishing a role within the blueline of Krefeld, Ankert was signed to a two-year contract extension on February 5, 2019.

In his only full season with Krefeld in 2019–20, Ankert served as team captain, matching a career high with 12 points through 52 regular season games before the playoffs were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a free agent from Krefeld after mutually terminating the final year of his contract, Ankert was signed by the Iserlohn Roosters on a two-year contract on 29 November 2020.[4]
