Hockey Will Be Even More Accessible, Inclusive With ‘NHL × ASL’ Winter Classic
The National Hockey League (NHL) is taking a significant step forward in promoting inclusivity and accessibility by announcing the return of its “NHL × ASL” broadcast for the upcoming NHL Winter Classic. This groundbreaking initiative will provide a unique viewing experience specifically designed for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
Starting with this year’s Winter Classic, the NHL is making an ASL (American Sign Language) version of its telecast available to stream on Max and Sportsnet+ in Canada. The broadcast will feature Deaf play-by-play announcers and color commentators calling the game action in real-time.
