P-X-P: Access in Sports’ Post

🏆🏒Amazing ACCESSIBILITY news! NHL in ASL for the Stanley Cup Final! The National Hockey League (NHL) and P-X-P are producing a first-of-its-kind, alternate telecast to stream during the Stanley Cup Final dedicated completely to the Deaf community using American Sign Language (ASL). The telecast – NHL in ASL - will be made available to stream on ESPN+ in the U.S. and Sportsnet+ in Canada. NHL in ASL will feature Deaf commentators providing real-time coverage of play-by-play and color commentary in ASL during each game of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. Broadcasters will provide ASL visual descriptions of major impact plays, like goals and hits, as well as referee calls and rule explanations to clarify decisions made on the ice. Graphic visualizations will include a large, metered, real-time bar that demonstrates crowd noise levels to viewers, specifically around certain events like goals and penalties. Also included will be custom visual emotes to depict goals, penalties, the intensity of a hit, and whether a puck hits the post/crossbar. Video Description: Vertical split screen of a white male interpreter on the bottom with a video showing the Stanley cup and various videos of the hockey event. Subtitles appear on the bottom of the reel. #NHL #Accessibility #StanleyCup #NHLinASL #ESPN #deaf #signlanguage
