Not sure why my mind was thinking of Paul, but It was so I looked him up on the internet. I didn't know he was no longer with us. A huge saddness swept over me. I watched Paul play every weekend when he was with the Flint Generals. He was by far my favorite player no matter what team he was playing on. I was just a young girl back then, but always thought he was the cutest player ever! My thoughts are with his family and I hope you know how many people loved him. RIP Paul.

Paul Tantardini was a legend in every IHL city and will never be forgotten. Tanner played the game with heart, grit, tenacity, and passion.
Turner Cup Championships in 1975, 1978, 1982, and 1983 speak volumes about Paul as a player, teammate, and person.
I grew up watching IHL hockey in Muskegon, Michigan and we were fortunate to have Paul in a Muskegon uniform for a portion of the 1979-80 IHL regular season. During that 79-80 IHL campaign, Tanner registered an...
