Jamie Langenbrunner (born July 24, 1975) is an American professional ice hockey forward and team captain of the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL).
In high school, Langenbrunner played for the Cloquet Lumberjacks in the Minnesota State High School Hockey League. After scoring 150 points in 70 games during his Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior years in High School and leading the Lumberjacks to back to back State Tournament appearances, Langenbrunner was named the AP's Minnesota High School Hockey player of the year. Following a spectacular State Tournament performance, Langenbrunner was drafted out of Cloquet 35th overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars.
Langenbrunner would then forego playing his senior year of high school hockey and instead play his next two seasons with the Peterborough Petes of the OHL, scoring 75 goals and 115 assists for 190 points in only 124 games. Also with the Petes he tallied 12 goals and 20 assists for 32 points in 18 OHL playoff games. In his second year with the Petes (during the 1994–95 season) he made his NHL debut with the Dallas Stars.
