Playing career
Barry was born December 8, 1905, in
The Boston Bruins claimed Barry from the Americans in the Intra-League Draft in May 1929, and from that point he remained in the NHL. He missed only two games total in the following ten seasons.[4] Barry recorded 18 goals and 33 points in 1929–30 for a Bruins team that set an NHL record with 38 wins in a 44-game season.[7] Barry scored three playoff goals to help Boston eliminate the Maroons in the semi-final, but Boston was defeated by the Canadiens in the 1930 Stanley Cup Finals.[4] Barry rapidly developed into one of Boston's top offensive threats; he averaged 23 goals per season in his six years with the team.[1] The Bruins named him team captain in 1933,[8] led the team in goals for three consecutive seasons between 1931 and 1934 with 21, 24 and 27 respectively, and was the team's leading point scorer three times between 1932 and 1935.[9] He was also among the league scoring leaders and finished seventh in the NHL with 37 points in 1932–33, fourth with 39 points in 1933–34 and eighth with 40 in 1934–35.[10]
A disputed goal by Barry was the flashpoint in the first ever NHL forfeit on March 14, 1933. Barry scored a controversial overtime goal for Boston in a home game versus the Chicago Black Hawks. (At the time, NHL overtime for regular-season play consisted of a full 10-minute period.) An enraged Chicago coach, Tommy Gorman, punched referee Bill Stewart. Stewart summoned the police to remove Gorman from the visitors' bench. The Black Hawk players refused to continue the game without their coach. The game was forfeited to Boston shortly thereafter.
Barry was involved in a major trade prior to the
"The rink seemed like it was miles long about 10 minutes to 2 o'clock in the morning. Players of both teams were praying for somebody to score before we all fell from exhaustion."
—Barry describing what it felt like to play in the longest game in NHL history.[5]
The Red Wings defeated the Maroons in the playoff semi-final before defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1936 Stanley Cup Finals to claim Detroit's first NHL championship. Barry scored a goal in the clinching game, a 3–2 Detroit victory.[13] Barry was a central figure for Detroit as the Red Wings repeated as champions in 1936–37. He finished third in regular season scoring with 44 points,[10] then led all players in goals (4), assists (7) and points (11) in the playoffs.[5] In the clinching victory over the New York Rangers in the 1937 Stanley Cup Finals, Barry scored twice – including the Cup-clinching goal – and added an assist in a 3–0 victory.[14] He was named to the NHL's First All-Star team at centre and won the Lady Byng Trophy as the league's most gentlemanly player.[5]

Barry retired with 195 goals and 387 points in 509 NHL games.[3] He was regarded as one of the league's best playmakers during his career and possessed a good scoring touch in-close around the net.[1] Barry was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1965.[17]
Personal life
Barry coached the Millers for one more season in 1941–42.
