JIM "TUB" BARRETT
He played two more seasons with Collingwood before calling it a career. We have no way of compiling an
accurate record of Barrett's goal scoring total over his brilliant ten year span, but a conservative
estimate is 400 goals.
His athletic prowess was not confined to hockey. Tub was a member of the Collingwood Midget baseball
team, Ontario Midget champions in 1947, under the coaching of Brit Burns.
He was good enough to receive a pro tryout at a baseball camp in Toronto in 1949 as a catcher. From 1949
to 1952 he played baseball with Collingwood, Thornbury and Creemore and was a member of The Stayner
O.A.B.A. Intermediate champions in 1957 and the Collingwood provincial finalists in 1958.
His shelf of silverware, with medals and trophies, representing provincial championships, include: 1 -
Juvenile, 4 - Junior and 2 - Intermediate hockey medals, plus a Junior and an Intermediate medal for
baseball at the provincial level.
