"The sport has gained huge popularity in the U.S. and worldwide in the last 12 months, and this agreement shows that major broadcasters are continuing to recognise the value and demand for para-sport, as well as representing a fantastic opportunity for new partners for Buffalo 2015."

"We are thrilled to continue to work closely with the IPC to bring Paralympic sport to the U.S. audience," said Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics, and President, Operations & Strategy, NBC Sports Group. "Team USA's victory over Russia in the gold-medal final was one of the great stories of the Sochi Paralympic Games, and we're excited to showcase sled hockey to a national audience once again."
