Joakim Henrik Tömmernes (born 28 August 1990) is a professional ice hockey defenseman from Sweden, currently playing for Frölunda HC in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). Selected 210th overall by the Vancouver Canucks during the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Tömmernes spent four seasons with Frölunda prior to joining the Canucks' AHL team based in Utica.
Renowned for his leadership qualities, he has held roles as captain or alternate captain on several teams, including leading the Swedish national team as captain in 2021.
Playing career
Tömmernes started his junior hockey career with Färjestad BK in the J18 Elit league, contributing to their J18 Allsvenskan championship victory in 2006–07 and securing a runner-up finish the following year. After topping the South Division among defensemen in assists and points, he transferred to Frölunda HC's J20 SuperElit squad for the 2008–09 season. There, he led all South Division defensemen in goals, assists, and total points while making his SHL debut with 11 games played.
He signed a two-year deal with Frölunda and alternated between SHL appearances and a loan period at Borås HC competing in HockeyAllsvenskan during the 2009–10 season. Following an early knee injury in 2010–11, he returned to participate in 47 games and achieved a personal best of 20 points. Although drafted by Vancouver in 2011, he opted to extend his contract with Frölunda for one year despite NHL interest. The subsequent season saw him suffer a broken jaw but also increase his goal tally to five across 44 games, even though his overall points decreased to 14. He again renewed his contract for another year.
After completing the 2012–13 season, Tömmernes inked a three-year entry-level contract with Vancouver but was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, following training camp. Unable to secure a spot on Vancouver’s NHL roster during the 2014–15 campaign, he mutually agreed to terminate his NHL contract and signed with Finnish club Tappara.
On 31 May 2017, Tömmernes agreed to a two-year contract with Genève-Servette HC of Switzerland’s National League (NL). Making his debut on 7 September 2017, he subsequently earned multiple contract extensions: initially a two-year extension through the 2020/21 season with an option for 2021/22, followed by an early renewal extending through 2022/23. He concluded his six-year stint by capturing the NL championship with Servette on 27 April 2023.
