He also made his Elitserien debut playing in 11 games with Frölunda's top team.[2] In the off season Tömmernes signed a two-year contract with Frölunda.[3]
In the first year of his contract Tömmernes played four games in the J20 SuperElit recording a goal and an assist.[2] For the majority of the season he played in the SHL and also played 23 games for Borås HC in the HockeyAllsvenskan while on loan from Frölunda.[2][4] During the 2010–11 season Tömmernes suffered a knee injury in the opening game.[5] He returned to play in 47 games registering a career high 20 points.[2] Following the end of the season the National Hockey League's (NHL) Vancouver Canucks drafted Tömmernes in the seventh round, 210th overall, in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.[6] Despite being drafted Tömmernes agreed to return with Frölunda on a one-year contract.[7] Tömmernes was injured again in the 2011–12 season, suffering a broken jaw.[5] In 44 games he increased his goal production from three to five, but his overall point production fell to 14.[2] He again signed a one-year contract extension with Frölunda at the season's end.[8]
Following the completion of the 2012–13 season Tömmernes and Vancouver agreed to terms on a three-year entry-level contract.[9] He joined the Canucks for training camp and played in the preseason registering two assists. He failed to make the team and was assigned to Vancouver's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets.[10]

On 11 January 2015, Tömmernes returned to Europe in signing for the remainder of the season with Finnish club, Tappara.[11]
