== Playing career ==
=== Early years ===
As a youth, Whitney played in the 1997 [[Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament]] with a [[minor ice hockey]] team from the South Shore.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-02-11|archive-date=March 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306085544/https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Whitney enrolled at [[Thayer Academy]], a [[university-preparatory school|college-prep school]] in [[Braintree, Massachusetts]], in 1998, and logged significant playing time with their hockey team. [[Coach (ice hockey)|Head Coach]] Jack Foley often paired Whitney, a freshman, with senior [[Brooks Orpik]], his future rival in college (being on separate ends of the [[Green Line Rivalry|Boston College-Boston University Rivalry]]), and later his teammate on the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100217050631/http://hockey.teamusa.org/news/2010/02/12/olympic-spirit/31839 Olympic Spirit | News | USA Hockey]</ref> Whitney's size and skill drew the attention of the [[USA Hockey National Team Development Program]]. After initially resisting the programs invitations, he left [[Thayer Academy]] for the program, based in [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]], for his senior year of high school.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
After graduating from high school, Whitney accepted a full scholarship to play for [[Boston University Terriers men's ice hockey|Boston University]] under [[Jack Parker (ice hockey)|Jack Parker]]. In his freshman year, he recorded 21 points in 35 games and was named to the 2002 [[Hockey East]] All-Rookie Team. He was then selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins, as the fifth overall pick in the [[2002 NHL Entry Draft]]. Upon completing his third year with Boston, he opted to forgo his senior year of college eligibility to turn professional. He was subsequently assigned by Pittsburgh to their [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]], for the [[2004 Calder Cup Playoffs]]. He played in 20 games, recording 10 points, however, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton was defeated by the [[Milwaukee Admirals]] in the finals.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
Following his professional debut in the AHL playoffs, Whitney joined Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the [[2004–05 AHL season|2004–05 season]]. Under head coach [[Michel Therrien]], Whitney played in 80 games in 2004–05, recording 41 points and 101 penalty minutes.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
=== Pittsburgh Penguins ===
[[Image:Ryan Whitney2.jpg|thumb|Whitney with the Penguins]]
Whitney made his NHL debut with Pittsburgh in the [[2005–06 NHL season]], playing in 68 games. He was called up on October 31, 2005, to replace injured defenseman [[Dick Tärnström]] and remained on the team until the season ended. His first NHL goal came on December 1, 2005, against [[Henrik Lundqvist]] of the [[New York Rangers]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Rangers run winning streak to six|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/games/2005-12-02-rangers-penguins_x.htm|work=USA Today|access-date=August 18, 2008|date=December 2, 2005 | first=Ira | last=Podell}}</ref> Whitney finished the season with six goals and 32 assists.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
In his second NHL season, Whitney emerged as a top offensive defenseman in the league with 59 points in [[2006–07 NHL season|2006–07]]. Under the guidance of new general manager [[Ray Shero]], the Penguins improved from a last-place finish in the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] the year before, to a playoff berth, with Whitney part of the youth movement in Pittsburgh that included forwards [[Sidney Crosby]], [[Evgeni Malkin]], [[Jordan Staal]] and goaltender [[Marc-André Fleury]].<ref>[http://penguins.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=56540 Pittsburgh Penguins – Team]</ref>
During the 2007 off-season, Whitney signed a six-year, $24 million contract with a [[Trade (sports)#No-trade clause|no-trade clause]], avoiding his pending restricted free agency.<ref name="NTC">{{cite web|title=NHL Salary Calculator|url=http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=323|publisher=CapGeek.com|access-date=May 20, 2010|date=May 20, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616132224/http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=323|archive-date=June 16, 2010|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> His offensive production dropped in the subsequent [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]], posting 40 points in 76 games.

In the 2008 off-season, it was revealed that Whitney had been suffering from a chronic foot injury throughout the season. It was later discovered Whitney was born with abnormally high arches (hollow foot) in both of his feet. After an attempt using orthopedic inserts in his skates failed, Whitney underwent [[osteotomy]], a surgical procedure to realign the bones in his left foot, on August 15, 2008. It was expected Whitney would miss five months of the [[2008–09 NHL season|2008–09 season]]. After playing one game with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, as part of a conditioning stint, Whitney made his return to Pittsburgh, in a 2–0 loss to the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]], on December 23, 2008.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lightning shutout Penguins 2-0 in Ryan Whitney's return |url=https://www.pensburgh.com/2008/12/24/701188/lightning-shutout-penguins |website=pensburgh.com |access-date=July 24, 2018 |date=December 24, 2008}}</ref>

== Playing career ==
=== Early years ===
As a youth, Whitney played in the 1997 [[Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament]] with a [[minor ice hockey]] team from the South Shore.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-02-11|archive-date=March 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306085544/https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Whitney enrolled at [[Thayer Academy]], a [[university-preparatory school|college-prep school]] in [[Braintree, Massachusetts]], in 1998, and logged significant playing time with their hockey team. [[Coach (ice hockey)|Head Coach]] Jack Foley often paired Whitney, a freshman, with senior [[Brooks Orpik]], his future rival in college (being on separate ends of the [[Green Line Rivalry|Boston College-Boston University Rivalry]]), and later his teammate on the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100217050631/http://hockey.teamusa.org/news/2010/02/12/olympic-spirit/31839 Olympic Spirit | News | USA Hockey]</ref> Whitney's size and skill drew the attention of the [[USA Hockey National Team Development Program]]. After initially resisting the programs invitations, he left [[Thayer Academy]] for the program, based in [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]], for his senior year of high school.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
After graduating from high school, Whitney accepted a full scholarship to play for [[Boston University Terriers men's ice hockey|Boston University]] under [[Jack Parker (ice hockey)|Jack Parker]]. In his freshman year, he recorded 21 points in 35 games and was named to the 2002 [[Hockey East]] All-Rookie Team. He was then selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins, as the fifth overall pick in the [[2002 NHL Entry Draft]]. Upon completing his third year with Boston, he opted to forgo his senior year of college eligibility to turn professional. He was subsequently assigned by Pittsburgh to their [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]], for the [[2004 Calder Cup Playoffs]]. He played in 20 games, recording 10 points, however, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton was defeated by the [[Milwaukee Admirals]] in the finals.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
Following his professional debut in the AHL playoffs, Whitney joined Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the [[2004–05 AHL season|2004–05 season]]. Under head coach [[Michel Therrien]], Whitney played in 80 games in 2004–05, recording 41 points and 101 penalty minutes.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
=== Pittsburgh Penguins ===
[[Image:Ryan Whitney2.jpg|thumb|Whitney with the Penguins]]
Whitney made his NHL debut with Pittsburgh in the [[2005–06 NHL season]], playing in 68 games. He was called up on October 31, 2005, to replace injured defenseman [[Dick Tärnström]] and remained on the team until the season ended. His first NHL goal came on December 1, 2005, against [[Henrik Lundqvist]] of the [[New York Rangers]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Rangers run winning streak to six|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/games/2005-12-02-rangers-penguins_x.htm|work=USA Today|access-date=August 18, 2008|date=December 2, 2005 | first=Ira | last=Podell}}</ref> Whitney finished the season with six goals and 32 assists.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}
In his second NHL season, Whitney emerged as a top offensive defenseman in the league with 59 points in [[2006–07 NHL season|2006–07]]. Under the guidance of new general manager [[Ray Shero]], the Penguins improved from a last-place finish in the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] the year before, to a playoff berth, with Whitney part of the youth movement in Pittsburgh that included forwards [[Sidney Crosby]], [[Evgeni Malkin]], [[Jordan Staal]] and goaltender [[Marc-André Fleury]].<ref>[http://penguins.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=56540 Pittsburgh Penguins – Team]</ref>
During the 2007 off-season, Whitney signed a six-year, $24 million contract with a [[Trade (sports)#No-trade clause|no-trade clause]], avoiding his pending restricted free agency.<ref name="NTC">{{cite web|title=NHL Salary Calculator|url=http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=323|publisher=CapGeek.com|access-date=May 20, 2010|date=May 20, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616132224/http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=323|archive-date=June 16, 2010|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> His offensive production dropped in the subsequent [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]], posting 40 points in 76 games. However, the Penguins finished second in the Eastern Conference and Whitney contributed six points in the [[2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs]], as Pittsburgh made it to the [[2008 Stanley Cup Finals|Finals]] against the [[Detroit Red Wings]].

In the 2008 off-season, it was revealed that Whitney had been suffering from a chronic foot injury throughout the season. It was later discovered Whitney was born with abnormally high arches (hollow foot) in both of his feet. After an attempt using orthopedic inserts in his skates failed, Whitney underwent [[osteotomy]], a surgical procedure to realign the bones in his left foot, on August 15, 2008. It was expected Whitney would miss five months of the [[2008–09 NHL season|2008–09 season]]. After playing one game with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, as part of a conditioning stint, Whitney made his return to Pittsburgh, in a 2–0 loss to the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]], on December 23, 2008.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lightning shutout Penguins 2-0 in Ryan Whitney's return |url=https://www.pensburgh.com/2008/12/24/701188/lightning-shutout-penguins |website=pensburgh.com |access-date=July 24, 2018 |date=December 24, 2008}}</ref>
