2011–2017: BBD line years
In the 2011 off-season, Barys announced the signing of Dustin Boyd and Nigel Dawes, who later formed BBD (Bochenski–Boyd–Dawes) line along with Brandon Bochenski.[19] In the beginning of the 2011–12 season, Barys fired Andrei Khomutov after seven losses in eight games.[20] Andrei Shayanov replaced him and led the team to sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Barys fell in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals to the third seeded Metallurg Magnitogorsk in seven games.[21]
During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Barys strengthened by signing Ryan McDonagh, Victor Hedman and Nik Antropov. Vladimir Krikunov appointed as a new head coach. Barys finished the season with a 23–18–5–6 record for 85 points. In the first round of the 2013 Gagarin Cup playoffs, Barys defeated by Traktor Chelyabinsk 3–4 in series. After the season, Krikunov decided to leave the team, because he refused to coach the Kazakhstan national ice hockey team in parallel with Barys.
In the 2013 off-season, Barys appointed
On May 5, 2014, it was announced that former long-time Barys's captain Kevin Dallman signed a three-year contract.[31] On 18 June 2014, the KHL reported that Andrei Nazarov would move from Donbass Donetsk to become the new head coach at Barys, replacing Ari-Pekka Selin who had been sacked as coach of the Kazakhstan national ice hockey team on 11 June.[32]

Team identity
Logo and jersey design
The team colours are navy, sky blue, gold and white, representing the Flag of Kazakhstan. The team logo is officially the head of a snow leopard, most recently updated in 2022. Within the leopard, there are hidden symbols representing some of Astana's famous monuments, such as the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation and the Hazrat Sultan Mosque, as well as the Barys Arena sports complex. The jerseys, also introduced in 2022, have the same design, with the home jerseys being navy blue, with gold and white striping on the sleeves, socks and the bottom of the jersey, representing the traditional "koshkar-muiz", a pattern found on the Kazakh flag. The away jerseys are white, with gold and navy blue striping, also on the sleeves, socks and the bottom of the jersey. The Kazakh flag is on the left shoulder on both jerseys.
Mascot
The team mascot is Barsik, an anthropomorphic snow leopard. Barsik wears a Barys jersey with his name on the back, and the numbers "99". He keeps the crowd excited, signs autographs, participates in entertainment during the intermissions, skates across the ice, throws T-shirts, and runs throughout the aisles of the arena to high five fans. Prior to the Mascots Contest at the 2014 KHL All-Star Game, Barsik changed his skin feature to look more snowy, while previous was looked more leopard.[37]
The rivalry with Ak Bars Kazan
Barys's biggest rival in the Kontinental Hockey League is Ak Bars Kazan. The rivalry between the teams is often referred to as Cat Derby among fans and media.[38] Both teams have the same name meaning snow leopard. Barys is a Kazakh mountain snow leopard, the Ak Bars is the same leopard but the Tatar team emphasised "white" by adding "ak" in front, secondly the team logos resemble each other.[39] The teams played in the first playoff round of the first three KHL seasons, and Ak Bars defeated Barys every year without losing a game.
