Edward T. Barry

Edward T. Barry

Edward T. Barry (b. in Wellesley, Massachusetts) was an American professional ice hockey player.

Barry learned to play hockey in Wellesley. He played briefly for Northeastern University in Boston, but left school during his freshman year in the winter of 1940 to skate for the Boston Olympics of the Eastern Hockey League. He was captain of the Olympics in 1941 and 1942.

Following a brief tour of duty in the Coast Guard during World War II, Barry returned to play for the Boston Bruins during the 1946–47 season, making him the first American to play for the Bruins since the 1920s. Unfortunately, his promising career with the Bruins ended in the 1947 season due to his refusal to travel and play at away games.

Despite being released from the Bruins, Barry still kept his ties with the ice rink, continuing to play and coach for the Boston Olympics for a number of seasons. In 1964, he decided to coach hockey at a now-defunct community college in Boston where he mentored inner city youth in the art of the sport.

Upon retirement, Barry went into the insurance business and became a partner at Barry and Farrell Insurance Agency in Needham, Massachusetts, where he continues to work along with his son, Edward T. Barry, Jr., and grandchildren.
