Ian White (born June 4, 1984 in Steinbach , Manitoba ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player who played 525 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs , Calgary Flames , Carolina Hurricanes , San Jose Sharks and Detroit between 2000 and 2015 Red Wings has played in the National Hockey League on the position of defender . White celebrated his greatest career success in the jersey of the Canadian national team by winning the silver medal at the 2009 World Cup .
Career
White began his career as a hockey player in 1999 with the Eastman Selects in the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association . After only one year there and 62 scorer points in 32 games, he moved the following season to the Swift Current Broncos in the Western Hockey League , which had selected him in the fifth round in the 1999 WHL Bantam Draft in 83rd place. The defender played for the Broncos until the end of the 2003/04 season. In his rookie season he reached 43 points scorer straight away, before he was the top scorer of the entire team with 79 points in the following game year - at the age of 17. In addition, the defender was also Swift Currents' top scorer with 32 goals. His achievements this season were finally awarded the Brad Hornung Trophy for the fairest athletic player and the election to the East Second All-Star Team of the WHL. The following summer he was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the sixth round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft as a total of 191st player. The Canadian stayed two more years with the Broncos, in which he was considered in 2003 with the election to the East First All-Star Team of the Western Hockey League and the Second All-Star Team of the Canadian Hockey League . A remarkable 68 scorer points for the attacking defender, which he achieved in 64 games despite participating in the 2003 U20 World Junior Championship , contributed to this. Before the start of the 2003/04 season, the Maple Leafs signed their draft pick. White subsequently took part in the Maple Leafs' pre-season training camp for the second time since 2002, but was returned to his junior team each time. In October 2004, the defender broke his left ankle, which limited him to 43 games of the season and prevented participation in the 2004 U20 World Junior Championship .
Towards the end of the 2003-04 season, after the Swift Current Broncos were eliminated in the WHL playoffs, White made his professional ice hockey debut when he joined the squad of the then Toronto Maple Leafs farm team , the St. John's Maple Leafs from the American Hockey League , was appointed. In eight encounters, he prepared four goals. Since St. John's missed the playoffs, the Canadian's season ended early in April. Due to the lockout in the 2004/05 NHL season , White continued to spend the entire game year in the AHL. He completed 78 games for the St. John's Maple Leafs and posted 26 points scorer. For the 2005/06 season , the Toronto Maple Leafs relocated their farm team to Toronto , so White went on the ice for the Toronto Marlies . After he had been active in 59 matches for the Marlies by the end of March, he was appointed to the Toronto NHL squad for the first time . By the end of the season in April, he ran twelve times for the Leafs. In addition to five assists, he was also able to score his first goal. Since the Maple Leafs, unlike the Marlies, missed the playoffs, White returned to the AHL in mid-April to play five playoff games. Additionally, the Canadians had the end of 2005 with Team Canada at the traditional Spengler Cup in Switzerland Davos participated. The selection team lost in the final, despite the first place in the preliminary round, to the Russian representative HK Metallurg Magnitogorsk with 3: 8.
With the start of the 2006/07 season , the defender was an integral part of the Toronto Maple Leafs defense. In his NHL rookie season he scored a remarkable 26 scorer points, making him the third most successful Leafs defender of the season behind the established Tomáš Kaberle and Bryan McCabe . At the same time, he also offered the team's third-best plus / minus rating. In the following season , White confirmed roughly the values of the previous season , at least on the offensive. In the summer, the Maple Leafs extended the expiring contract by three more years until 2010. The defensive play of the defender improved again in the 2008/09 season , and so at the end of the season he had the best plus / minus statistics of the team together with striker Olexij Ponikarowskyj on. With ten goals and again 26 points, his offensive qualities did not suffer. White had, due to the oversupply of defenders in the squad, suspended the first eleven games of the season and was then often used as a striker in the third attack line, before returning to his original position on the defensive a little later. With another year of his existing contract with the Leafs, White went into the 2009/10 season . However, he could not fulfill his contract, although - statistically speaking - the best year of his career. Despite 26 scorer points in 56 encounters, he was transferred to the Calgary Flames on January 31, 2010 . In one of the largest transfer deals in the NHL since the end of the lockout almost five years earlier, Matt Stajan , Niklas Hagman and Jamal Mayers moved with him to Calgary , while Dion Phaneuf , Fredrik Sjöström and Keith Aulie made their way to Toronto in return. At the Flames, White played another 27 games by the end of the season, in which he contributed twelve points. In addition, he completed his best NHL season to date with 38 scorer points.
Before the start of the 2010/11 season , it was a long time before the restricted free agent was able to agree on a new contract with the Flames. It was not until the end of July 2010 that he walked in front of the arbitrator that gave him a new one-year contract worth three million US dollars. Nevertheless, the defensive player's residence time in the Olympic city of 1988 did not last long. After 16 games, he was handed over to the Carolina Hurricanes on November 17, 2010 together with Brett Sutter for Anton Babtschuk and Tom Kostopoulos . But even with the Hurricanes, White found no lasting commitment. In only 38 games, he was used for Carolina, since he was sent to San Jose Sharks on February 18, 2011 in exchange for a second-round suffrage in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft . In addition, the Sharks gave in another transfer business Derek Joslin on the same day in exchange for future consideration to Carolina. With the signing of White, San Jose met the need for a defender with the build-up qualities that Rob Blake had left with his resignation in the summer of 2010.
By the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2011 , the Canadian had completed 40 games for the Sharks. On July 2, 2011, White signed a two-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings . After termination of the engagement, White ventured abroad for the first time during the 2013/14 season , where he played ten games for HK Traktor Chelyabinsk in the Continental Hockey League . He finally played his last professional season again in North America, where he ended his career in the summer of 2015 after serving for the Providence Bruins and Milwaukee Admirals .
International
White represented his home country twice in international tournaments. He received his first squad nomination for the U20 World Junior Championship in 2003 , which took place in the Canadian cities of Halifax and Sydney . The defender won the silver medal with Canada after a 2-3 final defeat by Russia . In six tournaments he scored two goals and prepared another four. In the games he mostly acted as a proven specialist in power play and was one of the surprises of the tournament on the part of the Canadians. Six years later he was nominated for the 2009 World Cup in Switzerland . There, too, White won a silver medal when the Canadians again defeated Russia 1: 2. In five missions, the defender got three points, including the winning goal in the preliminary round against Slovakia .
