David Richard "Bam Bam" Langevin (born May 15, 1954 in St. Paul, Minnesota) is a retired American ice hockey defenseman who played 216 games for the WHA Edmonton Oilers as well as 513 games for the NHL New York Islanders, Minnesota North Stars and Los Angeles Kings between 1977 and 1987. He is a member of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.
Langevin played for the University of Minnesota Duluth ice hockey team in 1972–76. He was also a member of the US national team at the 1976 Ice Hockey World Championship tournament in Katowice.
Drafted 112th overall by the NY Islanders in the 1974 NHL Entry Draft, Langevin instead chose to sign with the Edmonton Oilers of the rival World Hockey Association (who also had selected him in the WHA draft the same year) since his prospects of getting regular playing time were better in the WHA. Langevin became a solid performer for the Oilers, making the All-WHA Second All Star team in 1978–79. When the Oilers joined the NHL the following season, the Islanders reclaimed him as a former New York draft pick.
Langevin started his National Hockey League career with the New York Islanders, winning four consecutive Stanley Cups. He would also play with the Minnesota North Stars and Los Angeles Kings. His NHL career would last from 1979 to 1987. Langevin would also play in the 1983 NHL All-Star Game and he was also a member of the United States team at the 1981 Canada Cup.
