From executive producer, director, and writer Jacob Tierney, and based on Rachel Reid’s best-selling cult classic novel, Heated Rivalry is a steamy romance set in the world of hockey.
Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams, Tracker) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie, Joker: Folie à Deux) are two of the biggest stars in Major League Ice Hockey, bound by ambition, rivalry, and a magnetic pull neither of them fully understands. What begins as a secret fling between two fresh faced rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery.

Over the next eight years, as they chase glory on the ice, they struggle to navigate their feelings for each other.

Torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide if there’s room in their fiercely competitive world for something as fragile – and powerful – as real love.
