Who is Patrick White?

Patrick White is an American ice hockey center who currently plays with the Hannover Indians in the Bundesliga. White previously played for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Prior to joining the Golden Gophers, he played four seasons of high school hockey in the Minnesota State High School League with the Grand Rapids High School Thunderhawks. Although he was drafted twice by junior ice hockey teams—the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League in 2004 and the Tri-City Storm of the United States Hockey League in 2005—he chose to play for his high school instead. Described as a skilled forward with a good wrist shot, White was drafted in the first round, 25th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, before being traded to the Sharks in 2009.
