The lifestack Milton Keynes Lightning are pleased to announce the signing of forward Jarred White for the 2026/27 season.
The Canadian forward arrives in Milton Keynes following his collegiate career in the NCAA and a spell in France, bringing speed, energy, and a strong two-way game to Pete Russell’s roster ahead of the new campaign. During his NCAA career with Western Michigan University and the University of Alaska Anchorage, White recorded 24 points in 94 appearances while earning a reputation as a reliable forward capable of contributing in all situations.
White’s work ethic, skating ability, and attention to detail made him a standout throughout his college career, qualities that the Lightning coaching staff believe will make him an important addition both on and off the ice.
Speaking after signing with the club, White said:
“I’m excited to take on a new opportunity and continue my career in Milton Keynes. The organisation and fan support seems to be unrivalled in the league and I can’t wait to perform in front of the Lightning faithful. I’m looking forward to being a part of a successful year here in MK!”
Head Coach Pete Russell welcomed the signing and believes White will be an excellent fit for the team’s identity heading into the season.
“I’m delighted to have Jarred White join the team. Jarred comes to us after playing in France following his NCAA career, and he’s exactly the type of player we want here, a good skater with speed and energy, excellent in the 200-foot game, takes care of the small details, and brings dynamic play alongside real character and leadership. He can be trusted in all situations. I’m looking forward to working with Jarred next season.”
White becomes the latest addition to the Lightning roster as preparations continue for the 2026/27 campaign, with supporters eagerly anticipating the arrival of another exciting forward to Milton Keynes.
Jarred will wear his number 73 jersey for the 2026/27 season. Supporters will have the opportunity to Own and Loan his jerseys now by contacting dave@b2promodesign.com, stating the jersey type – Light, Dark, Warm-Up or any.
