After initially playing in the Midget AAA league with the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies, Barrie began his major junior career in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Kelowna Rockets at the tail end of the 2006–07 season.
In his rookie season with the Rockets in 2007–08 season, he showed early potential as an offensive presence on the blueline, leading team defencemen with nine goals, 34 assists and 43 points. Barrie's debut season coincided with the club's resurgence from the bottom of the B.C. Division to second place with a seven-game series first round playoff appearance in which he contributed with four points.

Barrie improved upon his first full season success to again lead all Rockets defenseman in points with 12 goals and 52 points in the 2008–09 regular season. He contributed with 18 post-season points in 22 games, including scoring the championship clinching overtime goal in game six against the Calgary Hitmen to help the Rockets capture the WHL's Ed Chynoweth Cup. Following a Memorial Cup appearance with the Rockets he featured in the 2009 CHL Top Prospects Game.
In his first year of eligibility, Barrie was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the third round, 64th overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He was elevated by the Rockets to their leadership group when he was added as an Alternate Captain for the 2009–10 season. Barrie suffered an early injury in his third season, ruling him out of the lineup for a month before returning to score at over a point-per-game average, to impressively co-lead all WHL defenseman in scoring with 72 points in 63 games. As a result, Barrie was selected to the WHL Western Conference First-All-Star Team, the CHL Second All-Star Team and was awarded the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as the League's Defenseman of the Year.
