Early life

White was born on January 30, 1997, in Hanover, Massachusetts [1] to parents Mark and Christine. His father played collegiate football and track and field at Georgia Tech while his mother played tennis at Florida State University. [2] He began ice skating after his sister had her eighth birthday party at an ice rink. [3] Growing up, he rooted for the Pittsburgh Penguins and his favorite player was Mario Lemieux. [4]

Playing career

White played high school ice hockey at Noble and Greenough School before joining the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (U.S. NTDP). As a member of the U.S. NTDP, he played the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons in the United States Hockey League (USHL). White's play was rewarded when he was invited to skate in the 2014 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game. [5] In his final season with the U.S. NTDP, White recorded 17 points in 20 games.

White played college ice hockey at Boston College from 2015 to 2017. [6] He scored his first collegiate hat-trick on January 8, 2016, against Providence. [7] In 2015–16, White was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team. [8]

White was selected in the first round, 21st overall, by the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. [9] Following the 2016-17 NCAA season, White signed an amateur tryout with the Senators' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, on March 26. He recorded three points in three games. On April 2, the Ottawa Senators signed White to a three-year, entry-level contract. [10] He made his NHL debut the following day in a 5–4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. [11] He made his NHL post-season debut in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins on May 23. [12]

White split his first professional season between Ottawa and Binghamton. On February 6, 2018, he recorded his first career NHL goal in a 5–3 win over the New Jersey Devils. [13] He finished his first season in Ottawa with six points in 21 games. In his first full season with Ottawa, White recorded 14 goals and 41 points in 71 games. [9] On August 21, 2019, the Senators signed White to a six-year, $28.5 million contract extension. [14]

On October 5, 2021, White sustained an upper-body injury five minutes into a pre-season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after a collision with David Kämpf. He was expected to miss four to six months to recover from shoulder surgery. [15] White later returned in the 2021–22 season to record three goals and 10 points through 24 games. [16]

Having been affected through injury and failing to live up to his contract expectations, on July 5, 2022, White was placed on unconditional waivers by the Senators and upon clearing was bought out from the remaining three-years of his contract. [16] On the opening day of free agency, White was signed to a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Florida Panthers on July 13, 2022. [17] He finished the season with eight goals and fifteen points in 68 games and was a restricted free agent following its conclusion. However, the Panthers chose not to give him a qualifying offer and instead let White become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2023. [18]

White signed a professional tryout (PTO) agreement with the Pittsburgh Penguins on September 9, 2023. [19] He was invited to training camp and was one of five forwards working for the final two spots on the roster after the penultimate round of cuts. [20] On October 7, White signed a one-year deal with the Penguins. [21] However, he was assigned to the Penguins AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, to start the 2023–24 season. [22] White was limited to 21 games in the AHL due to injuries, scoring five goals and ten points. He was recalled by Pittsburgh on January 13, 2024. [23] He made his Pittsburgh debut that night against the Carolina Hurricanes. [24]

Following an 11-game stint with the Penguins in which he was held pointless, White was claimed off waivers by the Montreal Canadiens on February 22, 2024. [25] He made his debut for the Canadiens that night against the Penguins. [26]
