Very sad. I hadn't heard anything about this. I always liked White as a player.

Oxycodone is addictive as hell. I went through 2 weeks worth of prescription in 4 days, not a freakin care in the world. I don't buy drugs off the street and don't have enough money to bribe a doctor. It's easy to see how pro athletes and celebrities get hooked.Oxycontin, Purdue/big pharma and the Sackler family unleashed hell with this addictive treatment, and they knew it. That they haven't been stripped of every dollar frustrates me to no end. That the NHLPA and League turn their backs on players who they know were provided the drug (they have the records) is not criminal* is plain heartless. Isn't the League's history of drug and alcohol abuse long enough to justify a standing program? Why not an athletes substance abuse program and support group across all sport?
*they will hide behind the government allowing the use of the drug.
Very sad. He was making 3 million a year+ in his heyday and it wasn’t long ago. How the hell can they be broke?
He has been out of the league for about 9 years. Career earnings about $10m so after taxes, escrow, agent, etc he was probably under $5m take home. Drugs have surely cost a lot of money and maybe he had some bad investments as so many professional athletes seem to do. It can go away quicker than you think.
What page?God damn if that is his actual insta page, the man is completely gone. Also he is weirdly obsessed with salt bae

Hear hear. Hell it kind of makes sense now why the organization and Stevie are SO obsssedded with good character. Ian white may (and Probey and others of course) may have neccisated that.I had always thought that Babcock had run White off the team, but with everything that's come to light since that's obviously not true. Really sad.
I found this podcast interview with White, I think it's important to hear his side of the story:
He gives a very honest account of his whole past, including his time with the Wings.
McCarty and Quincey have also done interviews on this podcast.
