Getting ready for some chilly action on the rink, huh? That's right, folks! ERC Ingolstadt, Germany's pride in the Deutsche Ice Hockey League (DEL), has given a warm welcome to US professional Riley Barber for the upcoming season!
Standing at 31, this talented forward has inked a deal and is gearing up to be a key player in our team. According to the sports director, Tim Regan, Barber has a knack for finding the back of the net and can be pivotal during power play situations.
Barber is joining us from the Russia-dominated KHL, where he saw action in Neftechimik Nischnekamsk. Prior to that, he played a few stints with teams in Astana and Kazan. But let's not forget his impressive career in the AHL, the second-tier league in North America, where he's known for his prolific scoring abilities. All this, including 16 games in the NHL alongside German national player Moritz Seider, makes Barber one exciting addition to our team!
Now, you might be wondering, "What's the deal with this Barber guy?" Well, let's dive into some nitty-gritty stats and team affiliations.
Ice Hockey Career:- He's had a decent run in the NHL, playing 16 games for the Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens. Despite this, he failed to register a single point during his NHL stint.- You can't keep a good man down, though. Barber’s AHL stats tell a different story, with him consistently ranking among the top forwards for multiple seasons. He even received an AHL All-Star nod in his time with the Texas Stars.- His recent stint in the KHL with Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk is a more recent development. As of June 4, 2025, Barber bid adieu to the KHL and signed with ERC Ingolstadt in Germany.
Key Highlights:- AHL All-Star Appearances: Multiple selections throughout his career.- Point Production: Regularly ranked in the top 20 of AHL scoring charts.
