The National Hockey League turned to Covington & Burling as its lead outside counsel on a 12-year, $4.9 billion Canadian television rights deal announced on the league's 96th birthday and a day after 10 retired NHL players sued the league over what they claim are the debilitating effects of concussions suffered during their playing days.

CORRECTION: 12/2/13, 2:24 p.m. EST. The sixth paragraph of this story has been changed to reflect Covington’s role advising Time Warner Cable on its $8.5 billion deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. We regret the error.
Covington & Burling recently added another notch to its sporting belt, helping the National Hockey League secure the largest television broadcast rights agreement in its history and the largest sports media deal in Canadian history.
