NHL Reacts To The Impact Of Gay Romance Show Heated Rivalry As It Sparks New Interest In Hockey! 

The NHL has thoughts about Heated Rivalry!

You may know that one of the hottest series to come out this year is a gay hockey romance show based on Rachel Reid‘s Game Changers book series. It’s about two closeted professional hockey players and rivals, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who have a secret years-long romance. And since the spicy show premiered in November, it has taken the internet completely world by storm. Heated Rivalry has even made many viewers becoming new fans of the sport! And what does the NHL think about all of it? Unlike I Love LA star Jordan Firstman, they’re loving every second of it!

A league rep told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday in a profile about the series:

“There are so many ways to get hooked on hockey and, in the NHL’s 108-year history, this might be the most unique driver for creating new fans. See you all at the rink.”

Wow! Just like Taylor Swift, Heated Rivalry is good for business! And the NHL, thankfully, recognizes it! Let’s just hope the lead actors, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, don’t have to deal with so many of the dads, Brads, and Chads like the pop star has! What are your reactions to the show, Perezcious readers? Let us know!
