Hockey Will Be Even More Accessible, Inclusive With ‘NHL × ASL’ Winter Classic
The National Hockey League (NHL) has made a significant step forward in promoting accessibility and inclusivity with the announcement of an American Sign Language (ASL) broadcast for its Winter Classic game. The historic move aims to provide a fully immersive and accessible viewing experience specifically designed for the Deaf community, marking a groundbreaking moment for hockey fans worldwide.
The “NHL × ASL” initiative will feature Deaf play-by-play announcers and color commentators calling game action in real-time. This innovative approach has been made possible through the league’s partnership with PXP, a Deaf inclusion company founded by Brice Christianson, who is also a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults).
This development comes as a significant milestone for hockey fans who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing, providing them with an unparalleled level of accessibility and connection to the sport.
