Julian Baretta (born October 3, 1957) is a Canadian former professional
Tournament MOP honors and winning the then-shortest overtime championship game in tournament history.[1]
Career
Baretta moved to
Centennial Cup in 1975 with the Spruce Grove Mets. With head coach Bob Johnson away coaching the Olympic Team the Badgers bottomed out, finishing tied for last place in the WCHA bus still manages to make the conference tournament where they were swept out by Michigan State. When Johnson returned for 1976–77 he brought several players with him including Steve Alley and John Taft, seniors who had played on the Olympic team. The infusion of offense allowed Wisconsin to put their worst season in team history (at that point) in the rearview mirror and jump out to a great start to the season. Baretta split time in net with Mike Dibble but it was the sophomore who finished the season with a 21-2 record and a 3.08 GAA, third best in the NCAA and tops in the WCHA.[2]
Baretta paced the Badgers as they swept through the WCHA tournament, winning all 6 of their games and posted a shutout against
Most Outstanding Player
.
The next year saw the Badgers take a small step back, finishing second in the WCHA, but another superlative effort from Baretta saw Wisconsin win another WCHA tournament title and make its second consecutive NCAA tournament. Unfortunately, Wisconsin ran into an angry
North Dakota 11-9. After graduating Baretta played just over a season in the IHL playing for three separate teams. He left the game in 1980 but resurfaced briefly in 1984-85 with HC Auronzo
but didn't play in any games.
