## Career

Stjerne participated in six [World Junior Championships](/source/World_Junior_Curling_Championships). He played as third for [Kenneth Jørgensen](/source/Kenneth_J%C3%B8rgensen_(curler)) in [2004](/source/2004_World_Junior_Curling_Championships) and [2005](/source/2005_World_Junior_Curling_Championships), finishing outside of the playoffs in both years. He then skipped his own team at the World Juniors in [2006](/source/2006_World_Junior_Curling_Championships), [2007](/source/2007_World_Junior_Curling_Championships), and [2008](/source/2008_World_Junior_Curling_Championships), finishing fifth, fourth, and seventh, respectively. Then, in the [2009 World Junior Curling Championships](/source/2009_World_Junior_Curling_Championships), Stjerne and his team made the playoffs as the second-ranked team. They were defeated by Canada in the page 1 vs. 2 game, but rebounded with a win over the United States in the semifinal and defeated Canada in the final to win the gold medal.

Stjerne skipped a team at the [2010 European Curling Championships](/source/2010_European_Curling_Championships), and led his team to the playoffs. Stjerne defeated Germany's [Andy Kapp](/source/Andy_Kapp) in the page 3 vs. 4 game and then edged Switzerland's [Christof Schwaller](/source/Christof_Schwaller) to play Norway in the gold medal game. Norway's [Thomas Ulsrud](/source/Thomas_Ulsrud) won a close game over Stjerne, leaving him the silver medal. He was defeated by his father, [Tommy Stjerne](/source/Tommy_Stjerne), in a tournament that decided the Danish representatives at the [2011 Ford World Men's Curling Championship](/source/2011_Ford_World_Men's_Curling_Championship), and went with his father's team as their coach. Stjerne returned the next year at the [2011 European Curling Championships](/source/2011_European_Curling_Championships) and again made the playoffs, but lost in an extra end in the page 3 vs. 4 game to the Czech Republic's [Jiri Snítil](/source/Jiri_Sn%C3%ADtil), relegating him to the bronze medal game. However, Stjerne defeated Snítil in nine ends on his second try, earning the bronze medal.

Stjerne represented Denmark at the [2012 World Men's Curling Championship](/source/2012_World_Men's_Curling_Championship) in [Basel](/source/Basel), where Denmark finished outside of the playoffs. Later that year, he led Denmark to a 4th-place finish at the [2012 European Curling Championships](/source/2012_European_Curling_Championships). He followed this up by placing 4th at the [2013 Ford World Men's Curling Championship](/source/2013_Ford_World_Men's_Curling_Championship), and again finishing 4th at the [2013 European Curling Championships](/source/2013_European_Curling_Championships). Stjerne skipped Denmark at the [2014 Winter Olympics](/source/2014_Winter_Olympics), leading the team to a 6th-place finish with a 4-5 record.

In his return to Basel to represent Denmark at the [2016 World Men's Curling Championship](/source/2016_World_Men's_Curling_Championship), Stjerne led his rink to a silver medal, Denmark's best world championship result ever. Denmark finished the round robin in a three-way tie for second with Japan and the United States, each with 8-3 records, but Denmark was given the 2nd place spot in the [Page playoff](/source/Page_playoff_system) by having defeated both Japan and the United States in the round robin. Stjerne lost the 1 vs. 2 game to Canada 5-3, then defeated the US 9-3 in the semifinal. In the gold medal game, Canadian champion [Kevin Koe](/source/Kevin_Koe) again defeated the Danish rink by a score of 5-3.[1]

In 2025, he came out of retirement with his former teammates [Johnny Frederiksen](/source/Johnny_Frederiksen), [Mikkel Poulsen](/source/Mikkel_Poulsen), [Lars Vilandt](/source/Lars_Vilandt), [Oliver Dupont](/source/Oliver_Dupont), to win the [Danish Men's Curling Championship](/source/Danish_Men's_Curling_Championship).[2] They would repeat the previous years success by winning the championship again in 2026.[3]
