He is the lead play-by-play voice of the NHL on TNT and called the Stanley Cup Final on national television in 2021 (NBC) and 2023 (TNT). The 2023 season marks Albert’s 30th year broadcasting NFL games on FOX (including five NFC Divisional playoff games); he has worked Major League Baseball games on various FOX networks for the past 27 years.

Albert has called ten Stanley Cup Final series (two on TV, eight on radio), in addition to television calls of post-season baseball and basketball, the Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, NFL Pro Bowl, the international feed of Super Bowl XLVI, and the World Baseball Classic. He has also been behind the mic for Premier Boxing Champions on both NBC and FOX.
