Harald "Harry" Lange (born December 5, 1983 in Klagenfurt ) is a former German - Austrian ice hockey player who is active in the DEL2 for the EC Bad Nauheim and the Dresdner Eislöwen . Since he is also a German citizen , he did not fill any position in the restricted foreign contingent there. His younger brother Mathias is also a hockey player.

Career

Lange began his career in the youth teams of EC KAC and made his debut in the 2000/01 season in the first team in the Bundesliga after being in the National League with the team Telekom Austria had gained experience with the professional hockey. Team Telekom was a short-lived project of the two Carinthian clubs EC KAC and EC VSV , with the aim of establishing a farm team in the second division. Long stayed with EC KAC for three more years, but could not prevail in the team. In the 2004/05 season he moved to the league competitor EC Graz 99ers and experienced a sporting decline with the team that lasted for several years. However, he remained loyal to the team and developed into an important and hard worker in the team structure. When Bill Gilligan took over the team in 2008, successes gradually set in. In 2009, former team captain Tommy Jakobsen left the 99ers, and Gilligan named Lange, who had since become the longest serving member of the team, as his successor.

In December 2011, Lange moved to the German second division team Dresdner Eislöwen .

Between 2012 and 2018, Lange played for EC Bad Nauheim and managed to move up from the league to the DEL2 with them .

In 2018 he ended his career and became an assistant coach at EC Bad Nauheim.
