Manage episode 388982143 series 2844636
On this episode of the "House of Hockey" Podcast, Breezy and Rae are joined by Kenny Albert, the lead play-by-play voice of the NHL on TNT. They discuss his love for hockey, what he learned from his broadcast father, and why he’s not a jinx.
You’ll hear the story of how, now Nashville Predators GM, Barry Trotz pranked him big time and why he has colleague and NHL legend Eddie Olczyk’s autograph. All of these stories and more are in his new book, “A Mic For All Seasons” which they also discuss.
They talk about early hot takes on NHL teams to watch for potential playoff runs and excitement around the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) launching soon.
Kenny talks about covering the 2014 NHL Western Conference Final where he flew city to city calling 12 games in 15 days along with being the only play-by-play broadcaster to call all four major North American sports on a full-time basis in the 21st century.
The ladies made sure to ask him his hockey hunk, favorite hockey lady and if he had a Sidney Crosby story.
