Playing career

Tiffels played as a youth in his native Germany, with Jungadler Mannheim, before opting to continue his development as a junior in the United States. He played in the United States Hockey League with the Muskegon Lumberjacks, Fargo Force, and the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders before committing to a collegiate career with the Western Michigan Broncos in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference.

After completion of his junior season with the Broncos in 2016–17, Tiffels concluded his collegiate career by agreeing to a two-year, entry-level contract with the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, on 22 June 2017.[1] In the 2017–18 season, he saw the ice in 12 AHL contests (two goals, one assist) for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins,[2] while appearing in 44 ECHL games (16 goals, 17 assists) for the Wheeling Nailers.[3]

On 22 September 2018, he inked a three-year deal with Kölner Haie of the German Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).[4]

Following two seasons with EHC München, Tiffels as a free agent opted to continue his career in the DEL by joining his third club, Eisbären Berlin, on a one-year contract for the 2023–24 season on 29 May 2023.[5]
