A new, one-of-a-kind broadcast will be available during this year's Stanley Cup Final ... the NHL just revealed it's going to offer a telecast of the championship series entirely in American Sign Language.

The league announced the unique broadcast of the Florida Panthers vs. Edmonton Oilers contests will begin when the puck drops on Game 1 on Saturday.

It will feature Jason Altmann -- a third-generation Deaf -- and Noah Blankenship ... who works in the Office of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services in Denver.
