The NHL will become the first major sports league to provide a full game broadcast in American Sign Language to serve the Deaf community. The league is unveiling broadcasts with play by play and color analysis for each game of the Stanley Cup Final in partnership with P-X-P. It is the same company that did the first interpretation of Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly's annual pre-final state of the league news conference two years ago.
