Career

Langdon played during his junior years until 1992 in the Maritime Junior A Hockey League with the Summerside Western Capitals . From there he moved undrafted to the Dayton Bombers from the East Coast Hockey League in the summer of 1992 . On the Binghamton Rangers of the American Hockey League , for which he also came in the same season inserts, managed the striker during the by the lockout shortened NHL season 1994/95 for the first time made it into the squad of the New York Rangers from the National Hockey League . New York was in a cooperation relationship with the Binghamton Rangers and had signed him in the summer of 1993.

For the 1995/96 season succeeded Langdon in the function of a Enforcers firmly in the squad of the original Six - franchises to establish. He ran for the Rangers until the end of the 1999/2000 game year . After he had missed large parts of the previous season due to a groin injury , he was handed over to the Carolina Hurricanes in early August 2000 together with Rob DiMaio . In return, they sent Sandy McCarthy and a four-round vote in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft to the " Big Apple " . In the Hurricanes, the Canadian continued to fill the requirements placed on him before he was transferred to the Vancouver Canucks with the Czech Marek Malík at the beginning of the 2002/03 season . The team from the Canadian west coast compensated for the hurricanes with the two attackers Jan Hlaváč and Harold Druken .

Langdon played only a minor role in the Canucks squad and only played 45 games over the course of the season. In early October 2003, the Canadiens de Montréal finally secured his services for the 2003/04 season via the NHL Waiver Draft . His time with the French Canadians also ended after just one season, as his contract was not extended after the end of the season. In July 2004, he joined the New Jersey Devils as a free agent . Since the entire 2004/05 NHL season fell victim to a new lockout and Langdon was also paused, the attacker only played a few games for the Devils in the 2005/06 season . Since his player type was no longer in great demand after the lockout, and he had also missed most of the season as a reservist and due to a renewed groin injury, he ended his active career in the summer of 2006 at the age of 35.

After a two-year hiatus, Langdon returned to the 2008/09 season again on the ice and played in the West Coast Senior Hockey League and Newfoundland Senior Hockey League for various teams over the next five years . At the beginning of the 2014/15 season, he was the coach of the Corner Brook Royals in the Newfoundland Senior Hockey League for two years .
