This just in, the NHL has announced that the 2025 Stanley Cup Final will be offering a broadcast in American Sign Language for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. The broadcasts will be availability on MAX in the U.S. and Sportsnet+ in Canada.
“Last year during the Stanley Cup Final, we became the first pro sports league to put together a live game broadcast just for the Deaf and hard of hearing community — and it was a big moment for us. Since then, we’ve kept that momentum going by growing our NHL in ASL content all season long,” said Steve Mayer, President of NHL Content and Events. “The work that goes into making these broadcasts happen is amazing to see, and we’re really proud to wrap up this season with something special for our fans.”
NHL in ASL will feature Jason Altmann, Chief Operating Officer of P-X-P, and co-host Noah Blankenship, as well as remote correspondent David McGregor during intermissions. McGregor is a Deaf professional referee based out of Vancouver, B.C. and has been a guest on previous telecasts.
“We were thrilled by the incredibly positive response from the Deaf community during our first-ever NHL in ASL Stanley Cup Final broadcast,” said Jason Altmann, Chief Operating Officer of P-X-P. “We are absolutely delighted to return this year to broadcast the Stanley Cup Final to fans in American Sign Language once again.”
