Never before has Barber been a stranger to the North American ice scene, having spent most of his career in the AHL, the second-tier league in North America.
Fun fact: Barber even got a taste of the big leagues, playing 16 NHL games alongside German national team player Moritz Seider for the Detroit Red Wings.
