"The content - particularly for young people - may be a little spicy, so you have to balance that out. I thought the storyline was very compelling. And a lot of fun, because I could see where they were picking at things we (as a league) had done in the past, whether or not it was being in Sochi or the All-Star Game in Tampa. It was very well done."
"Heated Rivalry is "a wonderful story.""
"The content - particularly for young people - may be a little spicy, so you have to balance that out."
Gary Bettman binge-watched the six-episode first season of Heated Rivalry and described it as a wonderful story. Bettman warned the content may be a little spicy for young people and said balance is necessary. He found the storyline compelling and noted how it referenced past league decisions such as Sochi and the All-Star Game in Tampa. The series fictionalizes professional hockey and follows a romance between Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, with teams modeled on real NHL franchises. The show has been credited with helping a former player come out and with contributing to growth in NHL interest, while the league faces criticism over not restoring Pride nights despite stated support for LGBTQ+ initiatives.
