Playing career

In 2004, he signed his first contract in Germany, joining the Frankfurt Lions of the top-flight Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

He then played for the Hamburg Freezers during the 2010–11 DEL season.[2] On April 6, 2011, Bassen signed with Augsburger Panther to a one-year contract.[3] After the conclusion of his second season with Augsburg in 2012–13, Bassen was released as a free agent and signed for his fifth DEL club, EHC Wolfsburg on July 15, 2013.[4]
Prior to the 2014–15 campaign, Bassen agreed to terms on a contract with fellow DEL side Iserlohn Roosters.[5]
Entering the 2018–19 season, Bassen left the Roosters and agreed to a one-year contract with the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers on September 12, 2018.[6] Rejuvenated by the change of scenery, Bassen regained his offensive touch and during the campaign on January 30, 2019, he was signed to a one-year extension to remain with the Ice Tigers through 2020.[7]
