The NHL expansion sure was a friend to Bill White as at the age of 28 he found a spot with the Los Angeles Kings and would emerge as their top blueliner. White’s skills would increase into his 30’s and a trade to the Chicago Blackhawks would see him make three consecutive Second Team All-Stars while also being voted third in Norris Trophy voting each time. He also went to six All-Star Games.

White’s strict defensive skills complemented his ability to occasionally playmake when called upon made him a very dangerous player in the game. White also notably played for Canada in the 1972 Summit Series.
