Hockey is having its moment, and it’s not just because the height of the NHL season is approaching.
In November, HBO Max acquired the rights to a Crave original TV series and subsequently released one of its biggest breakout shows yet: “Heated Rivalry.” Based on the novel by Rachel Reid, the story follows two hockey players — Montreal Metros’ Shane Hollander and Boston Raiders’ Ilya Rozanov — on their journey through their rookie season, the Olympics and their love story.
