Connor Storrie, Hudson Williams Carry Cliched but Endearing Queer Hockey Romance
Based on the romance series by Rachel Reid, the buzzy Canadian show follows the decade-long romance between two rival players, Canada’s Shane Hollander and Russia’s Ilya Rozanov.
Created, written, and directed by Jacob Tierney, Crave’s Canadian series Heated Rivalry has taken the world by storm. On February 20, it lands in India on Lionsgate Play. The show adapts the books of author Rachel Reid, which focus on the unlikely love story between two top players, Canada’s Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Russia’s Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie). Tierney’s show elevates the material, getting to the heart of the matter as the two men meet when they are teenagers as rivals and end up as each other’s partners, away from the public eye. The low-budget series connects strongly due to its heartwarming screenplay and the refreshing performances from the cast.
