Kenny Albert just set the record for the most national broadcasts called across the four major North American sports, surpassing Dick Stockton, Kevin Harlan, and even his father Marv Albert. And when you consider the list of moments he has been part of along the way, the number alone does not come close to telling the full story.
Two months removed from calling the US Men’s Hockey Gold Medal Game at the Milan Olympics in front of 26 million viewers, Kenny reflects on where that moment lands in a career full of Stanley Cup Finals, record-breaking goals, and bat flip home runs. He also weighs in on what the Olympic boom means for the NHL playoffs ratings surge, the PWHL’s rise, and which teams have the best shot at the Stanley Cup this year. Then there is the travel. Kenny Albert has never missed a game in over 33 years of national broadcasting.
The schedule he manages each August between Fox Football, TNT Hockey, and MSG is a jigsaw puzzle of red eyes, international connections, and backup cities. The story of how he gets from Madrid to Vegas in 48 hours is something every sports fan should hear.
