Barry Long (ice hockey)

Barry Kenneth Long (born January 3, 1949) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and coach.

Coveted as a third-line defensive forward, Long signed with the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League in 1972.

Seeking a more offensive role, after two years with the team, he signed with the Edmonton Oilers of the World Hockey Association.

After one year with this club, he returned to the Jets, playing one full season before suffering a career-ending injury five games into the 1981–82 campaign.

In 1984–85, Long's club finished with 96 points and won a first-round playoff series, but a poor start during the next campaign led to his firing after 66 games.
