BIOGRAPHY

Colin White was born January 30, 1997, in Boston, Massachusetts. He is a forward in the NHL. 

White played high school 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. In his final season with the U.S. NTDP, White recorded 17 points in 20 games. White was selected in the first round, 21st overall, by the Ottawa Senators in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. White played college hockey at Boston College from 2015 to 2017. He scored his first collegiate hat-trick on January 8, 2016 against Providence. In 2015–16, White was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team. Following the 2016–17 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. He made his NHL debut the following day in a 5–4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. 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. 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. On August 21, 2019, the Senators signed White to a six-year, $28.5 million contract extension. On October 5, 2021, White stained an upper-body injury five minutes into a pre-season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after a collision with David Kämpf. As such, he was expected to miss four to six months to recover from shoulder surgery. White later returned in the 2021–22 season to record 3 goals and 10 points through 24 games. 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. 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.
