ICYMI: Kenny Albert, Broadcaster

The most versatile sports broadcaster in North America Kenny Albert talks about learning by osmosis from Dad Marv and Uncles Al & Steve, working alongside 'The Great One' Wayne Gretzky, taking over for ‘the Vin Scully of hockey’ Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, the confusion about how John Tavares pronounces his own name, working 37 days in the Edmonton NHL covid bubble, how close he came to NOT meeting his future wife while working the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals for NHL Radio, why the controversial ‘FoxTrax’ glowing puck was actually ahead of its time, his love for ‘The World's Most Famous Arena’ Madison Square Garden, and why the Jose Bautista bat flip is the single most asked about call from his 30+ year/3000+ game broadcasting career!
