Playing career

Sörensen began playing hockey as a young athlete and started his professional career with Rögle BK in the HockeyAllsvenskan. To pursue a chance in the NHL, he moved to North America and played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with the Quebec Remparts as a non-Canadian player. He was selected 45th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft by the Anaheim Ducks. On April 3, 2014, Sörensen signed a three-year contract for new players with the Anaheim Ducks.

Sörensen made his debut in the Swedish Hockey League during the 2014–15 season with Skellefteå AIK. He later moved to Linköpings HC for the 2015–16 season on a loan from the Ducks.

In the 2016–17 season, Sörensen returned to North America and was included in the opening night roster after training camp. He made his NHL debut with the Ducks against the Dallas Stars on October 13, 2016. He earned his first NHL point with an assist against the Philadelphia Flyers on October 20, 2016. Two days later, after playing five games with Anaheim, Sörensen was sent back to the American Hockey League team, the San Diego Gulls. He played the rest of the season in San Diego, scoring 22 points in 48 games.

During the off-season, Sörensen chose to leave the Ducks and return to his previous team, Linköpings HC of the SHL, signing a two-year contract on May 23, 2017. In his third season with Linköpings HC, Sörensen did not score any points in six games at the start of the 2019–20 season. He then left the club and returned to his original team, Rögle BK, for the rest of the SHL season on September 29, 2019. He recorded five points in 15 games with Rögle BK before suffering a season-ending concussion on November 28, 2019.

After experiencing his seventh recorded concussion, which caused eye injuries and depression, Sörensen announced his retirement from professional hockey after nine seasons.
