Career

From 1988 to 1991 Karsten Mende played at the ECD Sauerland in Iserlohn . He then switched to the Cologne Sharks , with whom he stayed for six years. In the 1992/93 season , Mende was voted the league's best defender. In the first season of the newly founded German Ice Hockey League , he won the German championship with the Haien in 1995. In the summer of 1997, Mende signed with Braunlager EHC from the second-class first division . After a year switched to the Crocodiles Hamburg . During the 1999/00 season he switched to the Iserlohner EC . There he played 33 games and then ended his career.

In Iserlohn he then took on tasks in sporting management and finally became manager of the Iserlohn Roosters , which had been promoted to the DEL in 2000. Although the Roosters' budget is always one of the lowest in the league, a competitive team was always set up in cooperation with the respective coaches. This was also confirmed by a vote by “Ice Hockey NEWS”, in which Mende was named the fifth best manager in the league. The most successful season so far was the 2007/08 season when they reached fifth place after the main round and reached the play-off quarter- finals . After the Roosters qualified for the quarter-finals again in 2014 and 2015, Mende was named Manager of the Year by the DEL.
