The rest of his career, which lasted from 1999 to 2018, was mainly spent in Europe and Asia. Barney currently serves as the head coach and general manager for the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, having agreed to a 3 year contract extension on March 31, 2019.

Playing career

Barney was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings 29th overall in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He did not get to play in the National Hockey League until the 2002–03 season, because he missed three consecutive seasons due to a severe back injury. He also played for the Atlanta Thrashers. Barney played a total of 27 games in the NHL, scoring 5 goals and adding 6 assists for 11 points. He was loaned to the Hershey Bears in March 2007 from the Grand Rapids Griffins and was re-signed by the Bears for the 2007–08 season on July 31, 2007. For 2008–09 he moved to Germany to play for Augsburger Panther. In 2009–10 he started the season in SC Bietigheim-Bissingen, but was signed by Finnish team SaiPa in October. He continued with the team for 2010–11 season.

On November 21, 2010, he joined BK Mladá Boleslav of the Czech Extraliga.[1] After just 13 games with Boleslav however, Barney returned to Finland on January 18, 2011 to complete the 2010–11 season with HPK.[2]

Barney returned to HPK for the 2011–12 season. He was briefly loaned to EC Red Bull Salzburg for the non-regulation European Trophy, but returned to play for HPK. He then left HPK part-way through the season to help out the second-tier teams HC Thurgau and Dornbirner EC of the Swiss National League B and Austrian National League, respectively.

Barney played the 2012–13 season in the Asian Ice Hockey League with South Korean team High1. On August 8, 2013 Barney signed with HC Valpellice of the Italian Elite.A.[3] For the 2014-15 season, he signed with Austrian team EHC Lustenau of the Inter-National League, where he played for two seasons before ending his playing career.

Coaching

Barney joined the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League as an assistant coach for the 2018-19 season, and became their head coach a few months later. He remained the head coach until just a few games of the 2020-21 season.[4]
