"Before the stars of Heated Rivalry were presenting at the Golden Globes, or posing at Paris Fashion Week, or carrying the Olympic Torch in Milan, the hockey smut sensation existed only as the brainchild of Haligonian Rachel Reid."
"The result was a six-book series, Game Changers, which Jacob Tierney (whose past credits include hockey classics Shoresy and Letterkenny) has turned into the juggernaut television series."
"The show, about two rival players turned lovers, "could only be made in Canada," according to our prime minister, but has found a huge, insatiable audience beyond the country's borders."
"All while making Canada a whole lot sexier."

The show has captured global imagination, stimulated extensive cultural conversation, and reshaped perceptions of Canadian popular culture.
