Don’t take our word for it.

I remember being 14 years old and wanting to start taking my off-seasons seriously. I found Barry and skated with him for the next 7 summers. Barry’s genuine care for my development is a huge part of why I excelled at the prep level and moved on to the NCAA.

The player is wearing a black helmet and blue gloves, with other players and a goalie visible in the background.

I would say Barry is one of, if not the best coaches I’ve had the pleasure of playing for. I have a lot of fun when I’m on the ice with him, and a lot of the pressure of being perfect fades away. Barry focuses on the process of developing. I would recommend Barry to any hockey player.

Working with Barry has been incredible—not just improving my on-ice skills to have a successful college hockey career, but also teaching me how to act off the ice, work hard, and be a good person.

Endicott College

Barry and his coaches are so passionate about the game and even more passionate about their players. I’ve skated with the them over the past five summers and have enjoyed every single chance I’ve had to step on the ice. He is a true professional who genuinely wants his players to improve and reach the next level.

Barry is an exceptional hockey mind. If you sit down with him to watch film, he’s straightforward but patient, taking the time to explain the details behind every play: what went right, what went wrong, and how to make the right read next time. He breaks the game down in a way that not only makes sense but also makes you a better player. He truly cares about player development and takes pride in seeing his guys succeed, whether that’s earning a bigger role on their team, making a junior roster, or simply gaining more confidence on the ice.

Overall, Barry and staff have built something special; a place where players are pushed to compete, supported to grow, and reminded why they fell in love with the game in the first place.

My past years with Coach Barry have made me a better hockey player by far. By analyzing my shifts it helps me see what I can do better on the ice as well as other scenarios in which a different play would have caused a better or more efficient outcome. The ability to watch the video and talk about it after allows me to get the most out of every session.
