28.2.2018 goes down as the date when the 34 years old Dutch forward Henk Blange was part of the Tapponautit club for the last time. #91 has retired. Blange played 596 matches with the team, scoring 196 goals, giving 67 assists and being chosen as Man of the Match 33 times. His total carrer stats are 1098 matches, 450 goals, 179 assists and 89 MotMs. Blange played in only 4 clubs during his whole carrer, and the majority was in Tapponautit. He was bought to the team 20.5.2017 for the sum of 150,000 Credits. He hasnt been on the starting line up for the team, and played mostly in the secondary tactics. Blange held his speech really short:

"Im not much of a speaker, but i still want to thank everyone who has helped and supported me during my carrer. Im very thankful i was able to play here, this has been the best time of my carrer. Thank you so much to all my team mates, the GM, the staff and our fans. Thank you."

The GM had his words too:

"Thank you Henk. Im sorry i couldnt find you a stable spot on the starting line up, but your contribution to the team has been fantastic. Im extremely thankful we had a player like you."

The GM didnt mention about getting a replacement for Blange
