“Last year, I got a script for a pilot script for a show that I really loved, but it shot in Canada and I was so scared because I'm so vocal about hating ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and hating this administration. It was Heated Rivalry. Isn't that horrible? Because I love [creator] Jacob Tierney, also,” she
We're having a Scott and Kip Heated Rivalry lookalike contest on Saturday, May 16th at 4pm at Wunder Garten. Send this to a lookalike and tell them they have to compete. Help me find the lookalikes.
Videos showed girls and gays going wild for entrants who looked like Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, played by Connor Storrie. The show became known for the amount of skin it showed, as well as the touching moments of romance.

I watched it at the Olympics. I want Yuri Heated Rivalry! Ask me, hire me. I can fall in love with my co-star please! She said to the camera, reaching out to the show's creator Jacob Tierney, expressing her enthusiasm for a potential spin-off series centered on queer women in ice hockey.
First on the docket is a Heated Rivalry event at the Anthem on Friday, March 6. The competition is organized by event group Club 90's, who have been throwing Heated Rivalry raves around the country. (A bass drop after Rozanov's iconic line, "I'm coming to the cottage?" Why the hell not.) Unlike the freewheeling, hippie-dippie contests of yore, this event is strictly curated.
It's a show that's taught a lot of people about hockey, and it's taught a lot of straight women that their sexuality is 'gay guy.' The studio audience, seemingly stuffed with Heated Rivalry viewers, chortled back in approval. From the jump, Storrie knowingly winked at those who had likely tuned in because of his role on the show: as an athlete with a rippling physique, who often appears naked on-screen.
The 2026 Winter Olympics are in full swing, so everyone's FYP is popping off with all things snow sports. And I don't know about you, but as someone who doesn't usually watch sports, Heated Rivalry had me questioning if I'm secretly a massive hockey fan. That show alone convinced me to scroll through socials for the best Olympic moments, posts, and memes.
The Crave show, which follows closeted pro hockey rivals-turned-lovers Shane Hollander (played by Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), has seemingly sent the entire world into " mass psychosis." HBO, which acquired the show for US distribution, is now playing it in well over a dozen countries and says viewership has more than doubled since the finale. In short, it's broken a bunch of records.
With that in mind, I asked the women of InsideHook to name the sexiest TV scenes of all time. (As you might expect, our picks include a lot of Heated Rivalry. Just let us have this.) To be clear, these aren't all sex scenes - sometimes a passionate kiss or even a situation where there's no actual touching but the sexual tension is too much to bear can be just as impactful, especially when it's something that's been built up and teased over multiple seasons.
While Tom Wilson, Logan Thompson, and Martin Fehervary are going for the gold in Milan, their teammates will be getting the benefit of some time off to reset for the playoff push. [THN] Congrats to Martin Fehervary on being named one of the alternate captains for Team Slovakia! [TSN, Daily Faceoff] It's hard to believe that the last time the NHL took part in the Olympics was 12 years ago - and 12 years ago we all got to see the moment T.J. Oshie became T.J. Sochi. [THW]
Heated Rivalry may have been in our lives since the end of November but the internet's obsession with the series is still going strong. And Google has playfully referenced this whilst also looking ahead to season two. For those that have missed the furore until now - we can't imagine it's that many! - Heated Rivalry is the LGBTQ+ sports drama that has gripped the internet.
After an initial small-time release as a Crave original in November, the super sexy queer ice hockey drama went supernova. It's now on HBO, the home of The Last of Us and Severance, and reached UK shores in January, on Sky. Online, the response has been rampant. Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, who play the red hot rivals in question Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, are now red hot Hollywood property too (in January, they presented at the Golden Globes).
Heated Rivalry has taken over New York-well, the world really-with themed raves, trivia nights, watch parties and more. It's not looking like the horny obsession over the queer hockey romance is ending any time soon. In NYC, you can ice skate like Hollanov, hit the clubs like Hollanov and, yes, even scarf down tuna melts like Hollanov. From burgers to blueberry smoothies, here's where you can dine like the Heated Rivalry fellas in New York City.
The government currently ruling Russia has been understandably criticized for its attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. That hostility - homophobia as official government policy - is one of many reasons why the U.S. State Depaertment advises against visiting Russia. And while the country's government is engaged in actively repressing sexuality, there's plenty of evidence that a significant number of Russians are turning in to Heated Rivalry - albeit through unofficial means.
