At the end of the season, he was accordingly voted the most valuable player of the season. The Canadian then began studying at Michigan State University , where he spent the next four years. During this time he won the Central Collegiate Hockey Association championship twice and was once selected as the most valuable player in the tournament, having already been elected to the CCHA's all- rookie team in his first season . Already after his rookie season, the Edmonton Oilers selected him in the fifth round of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft in a total of 92nd position .

In 1992, he finally made his professional debut when White first for AHL - Farm Team Cape Breton Oilers aground. With the team he immediately won the Calder Cup . In the following season, the 1993/94 season , the Canadian was used for the first time in the NHL team of the Edmonton Oilers and posted eight points in 26 games. However, he spent most of the season in the American Hockey League with the Cape Breton Oilers, where White quickly became a reliable scorer and finished the regular season with 70 scorer points as a successful player on the team. In his third professional season he missed the finals with the Cape Breton Oilers, but won the John B. Sollenberger Trophy as the best point collector of the regular season with a record of 36 goals and 69 assists in 65 encounters . He was also elected to the league's Second All-Star Team.

The 1995/96 season began White with the Edmonton Oilers, before he was transferred to the Toronto Maple Leafs in December 1995 together with a four-round suffrage in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for Kent Manderville . For the Leafs, he only completed one NHL game and played the rest of the season in various minor leagues . In August 1996, the Canadian signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers as a free agent . The following two seasons he played exclusively in the American Hockey League with the Philadelphia Phantoms , where White in 1997 and 1998 again won the John B. Sollenberger Trophy as the best scorer in the league with 105 points each. After Bill Sweeney in 1962 and Paul Gardner in 1986, White was only the third player in AHL history to end the season as the most successful scorer twice in a row. In addition to other personal successes such as a renewed appointment to the Second All-Star Team in 1997, the Calder Cup was won the following year with the Philadelphia Phantoms.
