Chris Langkow (born August 22, 1989) is a Canadian professional ice hockey center who is currently playing for HKM Zvolen of the Slovak Extraliga.[2]
Playing career[edit]
Prior to turning professional, Langkow played major junior hockey in the Western Hockey League with the Spokane Chiefs, Saskatoon Blades, and the Everett Silvertips.[3] During the 2012–13 season, Langkow was traded by the Reading Royals to the South Carolina Stingrays on November 9, 2012.[4]
After playing the majority of the 2013–14 season with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, posting 20 points in 64 games, Langkow was signed to a one-year extension on May 13, 2014.[5] In his first full AHL season with Bridgeport in 2014–15, Langkow appeared in a career high 69 games with 8 goals and 16 points.
On August 7, 2015, Langkow returned to the ECHL as a free agent, agreeing to a one-year contract with the Elmira Jackals.[6] Following the 2015–16 season, Langkow left North America after 6 professional seasons, agreeing to his first European contract with Slovenian club, HDD Olimpija Ljubljana of the EBEL on July 24, 2016.[7] Langkow compiled 10 goals and 28 points in 41 games with Ljubljana before leaving to join Swedish second division club, VIK Västerås HK of the HockeyAllsvenskan on January 20, 2017. He registered just 3 assists in 13 games before helping the club avoid relegation in the post-season.
Langkow returned to the ECHL as a free agent in the off-season, agreeing to a one-year deal with inaugural club, the Worcester Railers, on August 24, 2017.[8] In the 2017–18 season, Langkow contributed offensively with 45 points in 50 games. He enjoyed a brief stint in the AHL with the Hartford Wolf Pack, notching a goal and assist in 7 games.
On June 29, 2018, Langkow returned to Europe as a free agent, securing a one-year deal with Hungarian club, MAC Budapest, for their inaugural season in the Slovak Extraliga.[9]
