Tyson Barrie Jersey Collection

Tyson Barrie became one of my favorite Avalanche players over the course of playing a whole season of NHL 2014 online with a bunch of my friends from college. We eventually got to the point where we would lock in positions to play for the whole game. I enjoyed playing defense and chose to be the Right Defenseman, so I’d naturally get a lot of Erik Johnson and Tyson Barrie time! My buddy Shannon was the Center and would often win the faceoff back to me, where I’d snap a wrister or blast a slapshot from the blue line.

When we moved to Colorado in June 2015, I knew I would want to attend some Avalanche games in person. After it was announced the Avs would host an Outdoor Game, I jumped in with both feet and locked in a partial season ticket plan to ensure I’d get tickets for the Stadium Series game. On opening night in 2015, I purchased a Tyson Barrie (albeit a Reebok Premier) new Alternate/Third Jersey, aka the Illuminati. I sold that Reebok Premier when I acquired an Edge 2.0 Illuminati that I customized as MacKinnon. But I always knew I’d get a Tyson Barrie jersey back in the collection somehow. Little did I know I’d start a Tyson Barrie game-worn/game-issued collection, and in March 2024, acquire a Game Worn Tyson Barrie “Illuminati” jersey!

I’m still looking to add a Barrie Lake Erie Monsters jersey, a Maple Leafs jersey, and the remaining styles of Avalanche jerseys I don’t already have. Check out my wishlist for the full list, thanks!
