Heated Rivalry is a Canadian LGBTQ+ sports drama that follows the multi-year romance between rival ice hockey players Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams). The series adapts Rachel Reid's Game Changers novels with emphasis on on-screen chemistry, explicit sex scenes, and a faithful narrative that gives the characters a happy ending. Jacob Tierney created and adapted the show after reading the novel during the pandemic and cited a personal connection to the premise of gay characters in hockey. Tierney's broader work includes directing and acting credits such as The Twist, Mr. D, Letterkenny, and a stage production of Tom Stoppard's Travesties. The series is available in the US, Canada, and Australia and sparked significant online attention.
