P-X-P: Access in Sports

One of our favorite things to do is to support other teams and leagues by attending sporting events on our off days. Thanks again to the Barclays Center for having us for our first ever WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) game.

From "ABCNews Live" on Tuesday, P-X-P's COO Jason Altmann was interviewed by Kyra Phillips, anchor for ABC News. Here is the entire interview: The National Hockey League is partnering with P-X-P for a first-of-its-kind American Sign Language telecast for the Stanley Cup Final.

While "NHL in ASL" was happening at National Hockey League (NHL) Headquarters, after rehearsals last week and within 48 hours, I flew from NYC to Fort Lauderdale to Amerant Bank Stadium for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final and then back to NYC for "NHL in ASL" Game 2. Here's a behind the scenes look of P-X-P: Access in Sports work at Game 1 of the SCF.

A brief glimpse of my workday as a NHL in ASL broadcaster. National Hockey League (NHL) and their staff is "one of kind" when it comes to investing in Deaf accessibility, inclusion, and representation. Authentic and empathy are two words that I would describe of the NHL staff. Please don't forget to watch NHL in ASL Game 3 on June 13th, 8 pm ET on ESPN+ and Sportsnet+ #hockey #ASL #Sports #DeafInclusion

I'm so proud of my client, P-X-P: Access in Sports for their incredible partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL) Together, they've made history by creating the first-ever deaf broadcast team for the Stanley Cup Final. A huge respect to P-X-P’s founders, Jason Altmann and Brice Christianson for their vision and commitment to inclusivity. Their passion for providing sports access to the Deaf community is truly inspiring. This first-of-its-kind ASL broadcast, featuring Noah Blankenship, MBA as one of the broadcasters, will be available on ESPN+ and Sportsnet+. It's a monumental step forward for accessibility in hockey, and I can't wait to see Jason, Brice, and Noah bring the Stanley Cup Final to life for Deaf and Hard Of Hearing viewers. This is why I believe in bridging the Deaf and hearing communities. Sports unite us, and P-X-P’s work paves the way for a more inclusive future and I'm thrilled to be a part of it!
