Tyson Barrie's Dad In Spotlight

Have you ever seen this guy at a Kelowna Rockets game?
Bet you have!
That's Len Barrie, the father of Kelowna Rockets defenseman Tyson Barrie. Len Barrie and Oren Koules are part of an 8 man ownership group that has purchased the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning.
Barrie is expected to be named the Tampa Bay Lightning's new President. The two will be on hand Tuesday when the Lightning introduce Barry Melrose as the team's new head coach.
It's always been a dream of Len Barrie's to own an NHL team, and he got his wish last week when league governors approved the sale.
I've had the privilege of eating at one of Len's restaurant's in Vancouver, the Players Chop house Bar and Lounge. The entire Rockets team, players, coaches and radio guy were treated for a fine meal at Len's establishment last season. The food was unreal. I will admit at the time I didn't think I was dining with a future NHL owner.
