Tommy Albelin (born May 21, 1964) is a former Swedish ice hockey player, having played his final year in the NHL with the New Jersey Devils during the 2005-2006 season. Drafted 152nd overall by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, Albelin spent five seasons in Sweden after being drafted, winning an Elitserien Championship with Djurgårdens IF, while capturing two World Championship medals in consecutive years. He debuted in the NHL during the 1987-88 season, appearing in 60 games and amassing an impressive 26 points. The following season, he was traded to the Devils for a fourth-round pick in 1989.
With the Devils, Albelin received a bigger role and saw major success as a result. In his 46 games following the trade, he registered career highs in goals (7), assists (24), and points (41). In 1995, one year removed from falling short of winning the Stanley Cup, Albelin registered eight points in 20 playoff games, helping the Devils to win the Stanley Cup. Although he was riding high in New Jersey, he was traded to the Calgary Flames the following season, as the Devils were in no position to make the playoffs and the Flames were in need of some help on the blue line. Albelin and the Flames reached the postseason but were swept in the opening round.
Albelin experienced varying results, from posting career-low numbers in the 1998-99 season to returning to form two seasons later. In five full seasons, Albelin represented the team as an alternate captain during one season, however, they failed to reach the postseason in all five years. At the conclusion of the 2000-01 season, he returned to the Devils and captured his second Stanley Cup in 2003. He played in parts of two more seasons before announcing his retirement.
