Denver Barkey is a ball of energy and just fun to be around.The sport of hockey is quite unique, it really brings people together. So much so, Barkey loves playing for the London Knights, mainly due to their proud fan base. Barkey has seven short-handed goals on the season, which is tied for first in the OHL with fellow teammate Easton Cowan. In addition, Barkey registered a goal and an assist last night to become part of the 100 point club, yes the 100 point club.
For the season, Barkey has netted 34 goals and registered 66 assists for 100 points. It is a goal he sert for himself, so this is quite an honor. This season Barkey has become more of a dual threat, not only scoring wise, but his play away from the puck is far better than it has been in years past. He is what you call a complete player.
So what can Flyers fans expect from Barkey when he signs his Entry-Level-Contract (ELC) and plays for the Flyers, “Someone to show up to the rink everyday. A player that can play up and down the lineup,” Barkey said to Jamey Baskow in an exclusive interview a few months ago.
Barkey continued, “My parents are a huge inspiration. My grandpa also inspired me. Kind of see the Pro when he played in the NHL. That was one of his dreams (For his Grandpa to make the NHL).” Some don’t know that Barkey’s Grandpa played professional hockey. Randy Legge, Denver’s Grandpa, played for the New York Rangers, and wound up playing 12 games for the Rangers during his professional career. Legge was a right-handed defenseman, believe it or not, as he stood at 5’11. Of course, Barkey stands at 5’9, but he could fill out more as he is still only 18-years-old.
This ELC is a good signing for the Flyers, as Barkey very much wants to be a Flyer. He earned this ELC, Barkey really offers a ton for the franchise moving forward. Congrats on making the 100 point club Barkey.
