==Amateur career==
Rod Langway was born when his father, an American serviceman, was stationed in Taiwan, and he is the only NHL player to have been born in the Republic of China. 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 played hockey for his high school team, the Randolph Blue Devils, which he led to state tourney appearances in 1973, 1974 and 1975. He was also a standout quarterback for the Randolph High football team, 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. 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 (UNH) who convinced him to play college hockey at UNH. UNH was 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 School (Massachusetts) Athletic Hall of Fame and the University of New Hampshire Athletic Hall of Fame.
