The men's hockey tournament at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games is underway and many fans are hoping to see the exciting feat of scoring three goals in a single game, better known as a hat trick. "I'm curious to see over in Italy for the Olympics, if we'll see a hat trick to begin with, and then second will people throw their hats?" said Ty Di Lello, a hockey historian based in Winnipeg, Canada. The international sporting event will mark the return of National Hockey League players after a 12 year absence.

As the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan approach, a strange rumor about cardboard beds in the Olympic Village has started to circulate online once again. While the "sex-proof" bed rumors have been debunked time and time again with vigorous jumping videos and official statements, the close proximity of young athletes in top fighting form continues to attract steamy speculation. Some locals and spectators have even changed their locations in dating apps in hopes of a chance encounter with an Olympian.

The RealAg Hockey Pool is known for its creative team names, and this year is no exception. From clever wordplay to classic hockey humour, there's no shortage of strong contenders. Now it's time to weigh in - we want to know which names stand out to you. In this week's poll, voters can select up to two favourites. Cast your votes and help crown the best team name in the pool.

Those who know me best know that I don't share much if anything publicly on social media, but lately, something has sparked in me (ok yes credited to #HeatedRivalry). I realized it is finally time to share a journey I have kept close to the vest for a long time," wrote Kortuem, nodding to the series, which has made a viral splash since it debuted.

Streaming's steamy hit "Heated Rivalry" has maintained a lofty perch atop the HBO Max rankings (where it airs in the U.S.) and seems to be equally dominating social media, morning and late-night TV, and even the social feeds of NHL teams. The Boston Bruins nearly broke the internet last month after using the caption "Heated rivalry" on an X post during a game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Speaking for everyone on the site, we remain incredibly grateful to be in this spot - like, just existing - to cover our favorite hockey team in a high-level way. We put our hearts and souls into this. We dedicate every ounce of energy we have (I sincerely work 12-16 hours a day, almost every day) so that what we do, which, I think, is exceptional and honest work, is expected... normal... nothing out of the ordinary.

Starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, two rival ice hockey players who have a passionate years-long secret fling, the show is based on Rachel Reid's Game Changers novels. The show takes its name from the second of Reid's books, which focuses on Rozanov and Hollander as they start their steamy affair. Their story is continued in The Long Game, the last of Reid's six-book series.

Here are my takes on each team's number one stud so that you can keep your eye out for them during the action this season. While I encourage you to watch hockey for the sport, these guys certainly won't hurt! Do you have a favorite team? Have any of these gentlemen convinced you to become a fan? Let me know in the comments!

Heated Rivalry, the Canadian LGBTQ+ sports drama about two rival hockey players who engage in a steamy romance, has taken the world by storm. If you're on social media, particularly the queer bits, you'll have more than likely seen actors Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, who play Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander respectively, on your feeds. The two guys have remarkable chemistry, on and off screen, which has made them the fascination of many people online.

I mean, I am not happy. Guys are going to run me. I am going to try to stand up for myself. I heard the ref say we got a power play, and there really isn't much I can do to him on the ground. Kudos to the guys who were there and got down with him, but like I said, we have to start going to the cage a little harder and make it harder for their goalies.

Jamo ain't messing around 🤣🤣🤣. Ready to drop the gloves and get after it 🤣. I know nothing about hockey. His mama got him into it, and he is loving it!!!! So rad to watch him progress at a new sport.

They're no longer alone among legal technology providers, with Filevine announcing a helmet sponsor deal with the newly minted Utah Mammoth. As Utah Mammoth branding decisions go, not to denigrate the Filevine partnership, but it's a distant second behind changing the name to Mammoth after playing its first season with the very I-forgot-my-homework-was-due-today name of "Utah Hockey Club." Filevine, who showed off one of the coolest products I saw last year with its Depo Copilot, will appear on both Utah's home and away helmets.

Lane Hutson, the reigning Calder Trophy winner, had a breakout rookie performance with 66 points in 82 games and tied the NHL record for most assists by a rookie defenseman.

"Both countries love hockey, so I hope it's going to connect well and we will see," Ovechkin told Pleitgen in the locker room post-game.

St. Louis Blues added three experienced players, including center Pius Suter, right winger Matt Luff, and center Nick Bjugstad, enhancing their depth and leadership.
