Barry T. Tallackson (born April 14, 1983) is a retired American ice hockey forward. He appeared in 20 National Hockey League (NHL) games with the New Jersey Devils from 2005 to 2009, spending the majority of his time playing for their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. Subsequently, Tallackson competed for seven seasons in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), concluding his professional career with the Oji Eagles in the Asia League Ice Hockey (ALIH).
Playing career
Tallackson was born in Grand Forks and grew up in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. He completed his secondary education at Johnson High School in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Prior to being drafted in 2002, he was a member of the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's ice hockey team, where he contributed to winning the national championship in 2002.
The New Jersey Devils selected Tallackson in the second round as the 53rd overall pick during the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. In December 2008, following surgery for an irregular heartbeat caused by Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, the Devils relinquished their rights to him. While with their AHL affiliate, the Lowell Devils, he recorded 11 goals and 10 assists before signing with the St. Louis Blues as a free agent in July 2009.
After parting ways with St. Louis, Tallackson joined Germany’s DEL team Augsburger Panther on July 17, 2010. After one season there, he signed a one-year deal with Eisbären Berlin, the reigning DEL champions, in May 2011.
During his tenure with Eisbären Berlin, Tallackson was the team's second-leading scorer in both points and goals on their championship-winning roster. He was named MVP of the playoff final series and subsequently secured an extension for an additional season.
