[edit] Playing career
Langkow is a goalkeeper who has been in the Finnish SM-liiga for four seasons. He describes his playing style as a combination of butterfly and stand-up.[1]
Langkow played for the Portland Winter Hawks in the WHL and recorded three straight 20-win seasons with the club before being drafted by Winnipeg Jets with their 2nd pick, 31st overall, in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. When the Winnipeg franchise relocated in July 1, 1996, he was transferred to the Phoenix Coyotes. During this time he won 63 games over three seasons and was one of the top goaltenders in the AHL while playing for the Springfield Falcons. In 1998 he won the Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award as AHL's best goalkeeper.[2][3]
Langkow was traded to Atlanta Thrashers in June 25, 1999, where he played 15 games for the NHL club before being traded again to Anaheim Ducks with Sergei Vyshedkevich for Ladislav Kohn in February 9, 2001.[2]
After four seasons playing for Ässät in the SM-liiga, Langkow signed a one-year contract with HV71 in Sweden's top hockey league Elitserien.[4] After only having played 11 games as starting goalie for HV71 in the Swedish league, Langkow signed with the Swiss team Rapperswil-Jona Lakers in Nationalliga A.[5][6] In June 2007 he signed a one-year contract with Jokerit of the Finnish SM-liiga. [7]
Although Langkow was contracted to Jokerit his contract was terminated as he was replaced by Jussi Markkanen as the number 1 goaltender for Jokerit. [8]
