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.
