Career

Barkell competed in pair skating during the 1980s, in partnership with Melanie Gaylor. The pair won three international competitions — the 1986 Fujifilm Trophy, 1986 Nebelhorn Trophy and 1986 Grand Prix International St. Gervais. The duo received two Canadian national medals in the fours discipline — bronze in 1987 with Cynthia Coull / Mark Rowsom and silver in 1988 with Michelle Menzies / Kevin Wheeler.

After retiring from competition, Barkell began a coaching career in Barrie, Ontario, at the Mariposa School of Skating, where he was the director of pair skating. In the summer of 2014, Barkell moved to Toronto and started coaching at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club. In the summer of 2019, Barkell moved to the Granite Club in Toronto.
