Colton White (born May 3, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the San Diego Gulls in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the New Jersey Devils, 97th overall, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career[edit]
White played minor midget hockey with the London Jr. Knights before he was selected in the 2013 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection, 22nd overall, by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. He joined the Greyhounds as a rookie for the 2013–14 season.[1] White played with the Greyhounds for his entire OHL career, playing in 256 games for the team and was an alternate captain in the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons.[2]
White was drafted by the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the fourth round, 97th overall, in the 2015 NHL Draft. On September 22, 2016, White was signed by the Devils to a three-year, entry-level contract.[3] In his first pro season in 2017–18 season, White played 11 games with the Adirondack Thunder.[4] During the 2018–19 season, having played 61 games with New Jersey's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Devils, White received his first NHL recall by New Jersey on March 13, 2019.[5] He made his NHL debut that day, helping the Devils blueline in a 6–3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Arena in Edmonton, Alberta.[2][6] He finished the season playing in three games for New Jersey.[7] In the 2019–20 season, White was recalled in February due to an injury to Sami Vatanen and an illness with P.K. Subban. He made his season debut against the Montreal Canadiens on February 4, 2020.[8] In the 2020–21 season, White made two appearances with New Jersey, but spent the majority of the season with Binghamton.[9] He was named an alternate captain with Binghamton for the season.[10]
White signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils on July 14, 2021.[10] He made the New Jersey Devils out of training camp, appearing in the opening day roster.[11] However, after Ty Smith returned from injury, White was placed on waivers and went unclaimed.[12] He was assigned to the Devils' new AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets and spent the rest of the season splitting time between the two.[13]
Following his fifth season within the Devils organization, White left as an unrestricted free agent and was signed to a two-year, two-way contract with the Anaheim Ducks on July 14, 2022.[4] In his first season with the Ducks, he played in 46 games, scoring six points. At the beginning of the 2023–24 season, White was placed on waivers and after going unclaimed, was assigned to Anaheim's AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls.[14]
