Playing career
Barkley's playing career ended from an on-ice accident that rendered him blind in his right eye.[1] On January 30, 1966, Barkley, playing for the Detroit Red Wings, was battling with Chicago's Doug Mohns for a puck at the blueline. Mohns attempted to lift Barkley's stick, but missed, and struck the bent-over Barkley directly in his right eye. Barkley would never play again. In 253 NHL games Barkley recorded 24 goals and 80 assists for 104 career points.
Coaching career
Following his career-ending injury, Barkley joined the Detroit front office, working in public relations and as a troubleshooter. In 1969 he was appointed head coach of the Fort Worth Wings of the Central Hockey League (Detroit's top farm team),[2] and on January 10, 1971, Barkley was promoted to head coach of the Detroit Red Wings.[3] He coached less than one year before being replaced by Johnny Wilson following a 3-8-0 start to the 1971–72 season.[4] Barkley returned to coach the Wings again in 1975, but lasted just 26 games before being fired and replaced by Alex Delvecchio, a former teammate.
Barkley now lives in Calgary, Alberta.[5]
