"Following the unprecedented live coverage of the final between Russia and the USA during Sochi 2014, we are delighted to be working with NBC Sports Group again to bring ice sled hockey to fans in one of its most prolific territories," said Xavier Gonzalez, IPC Chief Executive Officer. "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."

NBCSN will telecast up to three games featuring the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team, beginning on Wednesday, April 29, at 10:30 p.m. ET, when Team USA faces Italy in preliminary-round action, followed by a semifinal match on Friday, May 1, at 10:30 p.m. ET.
