Clinton Howard "The Professor" Albright (February 28, 1926 December 30, 1999) was a centre in the NHL for the New York Rangers. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he played 59 games for the Rangers in the 1948–49 season, wearing the number fifteen on his jersey.[1] He was one of few players to wear glasses on the ice.[2]
