The National Hockey League (NHL) is taking its next step in breaking down language barriers, as the organization has announced its intention to broadcast select games in American Sign Language (ASL). The initiative, which kicked off at the end of the regular season, will continue with the start of the highly anticipated Stanley Cup Playoffs. For the first time in NHL history, fans who are deaf or hard of hearing will be able to experience the excitement of the playoffs in their native language. The move is seen as a significant milestone in promoting inclusivity and accessibility in professional sports.
