White was named an All Star in 1969 (as a King) and he made that team again in 1970, the year he was traded. The next four seasons would see White named an All Star but from 1971-72 to 1973-74 he was named a Second Team All Star and was a third place finisher in Norris Trophy voting. Unlike the winner those years (Bobby Orr) White was not a scorer though his 179 Points as a blueliner for the Blackhawks was more than respectable. White was more focused on his side of the ice and he was an excellent shutdown Defenseman.
White’s career ended due a severe neck injury sustained in the 1976 Playoffs and he would be forced to retire.
