'Heated Rivalry' stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams carry Olympic torches in Italy ahead of 2026 Winter Olympics
"The two main stars of "Heated Rivalry," the wildly popular hockey romance series, carried Olympic torches for a leg of the flame's relay, which will eventually end at the historic San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy, next month. Connor Storrie, who plays Ilya Rozanov in the show, and Hudson Williams, who plays Shane Hollander, carried the flame through the Veneto section of the route that started in the Italian city of Udine and ended in the town of Belluno."
"Williams and Storrie became viral sensations for their roles in the series, which streams on HBO Max in America and Crave in Canada. The show has spread like wildfire among the hockey community, with its soundtrack recently playing in many NHL arenas, including DC's Capital One Arena on Pride Night. The show is inspired by Rachel Reid's book of the same name, the second novel in her popular Game Changers series."
