Editing Rod Langway (section)

==Early life and amateur career==
Langway was born to a US military family in [[Taipei]], [[Taiwan]], and is the only NHL player to have been born there. He grew up in [[Randolph, Massachusetts]], and did not begin playing hockey until age 13 in 1970, aside from pick-up street hockey games with the neighborhood boys. He then led [[Randolph High School (Massachusetts)|Randolph High School]] to three straight state tournament appearances in 1973, 1974 and 1975. He was also a standout quarterback for the Blue Devils and was one of the top football recruits in the nation. As a catcher on the Randolph High baseball team, Langway was considered a baseball pro-prospect. He was an honor student. However, the top college football programs in the country had identified Langway as a future NFL quarterback. It was a football recruiter from the [[University of New Hampshire]] who convinced him to play college hockey at UNH, one of the few schools that would allow him to play ''both'' football and hockey in college, which he did without having to choose one over the other as an incoming freshman. Langway went on to lead UNH to the NCAA hockey final four in 1977. Ultimately, hockey ended up being the direction for him as a professional career. He was inducted into the Randolph High and UNH Athletic Halls of Fame.
