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.

We already knew that Heated Rivalry, the smutty Canadian romance about two rival hockey stars who fall in love and have to grapple with being closeted pro athletes, has become a sensation, particularly among thirsty straight women. (My Instagram Search & Explore page is currently serving me a truly embarrassing amount of gay hockey player content.) Last week's episode, "I'll Believe in Anything," took the obsession to new heights;

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.

"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.

Linus Eriksson did not play in Sweden's 3-1 loss to Finland in the final day of action at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Minneapolis.

Andrew Poturalski, reigning AHL MVP and league leading scorer, signed a one-year contract with Avangard Omsk of the KHL after a successful AHL career.

Season ticket holders will be invited to a BBQ with the players, have access to training camp, access to morning skate, and participate in-person chalk talks with Darche and Patrick Roy.

After winning consecutive Mike Richter Awards as the NCAA's top goaltender, the expectations for Devon Levi were extremely high, yet he has not replicated this success at the NHL level.
