The cast and crew of “Heated Rivalry” at the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards! via globaltv

so heated rivalry won in every single one of the categories it was nominated for? i don’t know if i can remember another show having as much of a cultural & societal impact as this show has had our little canadian gay hockey show indeed 😭♥️

My Threads is so perfectly curated. It’s Spurs/Wemby, Heated Rivalry, dogs/pets, anti-AI, ADHD, making fun of Trump/MAGA and Quinta Brunson saying, “Keke” 😂

Congratulations to Jackson Parrell, DP on both winning shows tonight, Heated Rivalry AND North of North!! He is the GOAT.

Just perfect.

Jesus, Hudson Williams is tall. I didn't really clock it until seeing him in the lineup of cast and crew at the Canadian Awards. He's in brown, next to Rachel Reid. Also he looked rested. Good for him.

Canadian Screen award for Best Drama Series goes to Heated Rivalry. Congratulations to all for an incredible piece of joyful media.

Over on the Nazi app they're stealing my heated rivalry gifs and posting them as their own

What kind of unhinged writing habits lead to a book series like Game Changers and a TV phenomenon like Heated Rivalry? "I'll be like, let's just start having the characters have a conversation and see where it goes," said bestselling author Rachel Reid on the red carpet at the 2026 #PENGala.

Heated Rivalry CLEAN SWEEP. They won all 13 awards they were nominated for tonight at Canadian Screen Awards. Now let's cross fingers that Hudson wins tomorrow's Best Lead Performance (and shout-out to Connor who deserves it too but couldn't get nominated coz he's not Canadian 😭).

Wow they don't even save the best director and the supportings for the big event night? Bananas. Also Connor coming off of this tour-de-force without major major awards is heartbreaking .

The "looking for spills" reason for grocery store robots is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It makes it sound like humans don't alert personnel (they do) or that shit is basically flooding store floors 24/7/365. They don't clean, anyway. What are they doing that justifies the price of them?

Diversity and actual free speech make us all better and stronger.

That was epiphanic. Thank you Jacob Collier.

Well, the job search is dragging me but I'm happy that when I had money I got tix for Jacob Collier and for Wayne Brady and Billy Porter in La Cage Aux Follies, so my mental health be clinging to those for a bit.

Ok amusing situation, don't care about Criminal Minds but this article has the most economically elegant summary of HR I've seen yet. Boom.

"modern notions of feminism" I mean I guess but when we can we start blaming "notions of men just being entitled shit"? All you have to be is likeable. That women must be coerced into having families is a real fucking indictment of masculinity, frankly. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Rachel Reid has seen the tiktoks of your grandma reacting to Heated Rivalry and she wants you to know that older women know what sex is, she promises www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBjM3V4u/

Presenting this chart for the edification of anyone writing Heated Rivalry fanfic, with two (2) caveats (to follow).

Harris: What was the best day of your life? Cens: Heartfelt answers about their spouses/kids W: When Shane Hollander signed with Ottawa Ilya starts laughing W: And I realized I never have to play against the unholy hockey terrors that is Hollanov for as long as I'm a Cen W: also Lisa love you bb

I have read so much Heated Rivalry fic at this point, and not one story where Rose Landry shows someone where on her hand she's from. Where is the authenticity

If the NHL is so worried about how they'll be fictionally portrayed in S2 of Heated Rivalry, perhaps that's an opportunity to reflect and confront the history of real-life homophobic behavior that the fiction is drawing from.

When I was a kid, I was called gay for not liking hockey... Well who's laughing now?

Exactly.

I can't not do this one, especially with the stupid gif change that's left me with only 2 nearly identical Heated Rivalry gifs.

Really really love the addition she edited in to address the issues of Shane dealing with racism and performance in Heated Rivalry. Duh forgot the link last time! youtu.be/gD9Zkcl7B0s?...

Shane & Ilya

I’ve been thinking a lot about it Jason Collins lately and the importance of his legacy… and the legacy of other Black Queer men in professional sports. In the time of Heated Rivalry, it’s important we still remember the trailblazers. More on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/betonbla...

Has made or will ever make. #heatedrivalry

It's funny that is essentially a tag line. When I told my daughter I avoided the show at first because I was not going to watch another bury-your-gays trope, she said the same thing verbatim.

"One thing about the Hollander men: if you hit them witha social situation they don't know how to react to, they will straight up leave. Call that the Hollander goodbye." #heatedrivalry

And people don’t understand heated rivalry?

long game spoilers kinda the head of the NHL is worried about how Heated Rivalry s2 will make them look bad because it deals with homophobia in the league and "that's not how I would react to the situation" you temporarily banned pride tape. the story is a direct reaction to how you run the league

ACTRA Awards nominations celebrate #HeatedRivalry and the Montreal star system

if i see one more person say off campus is giving straight heated rivalry i’m going to lose my shit. the only thing they have in common is hockey and it’s not even the same level of hockey. stop it.

How Bettman could deal with being the basis for Heated Rivalry's villain: 1. Appear unbothered. Like Anna Wintour & The Devil Wears Prada 2. Actually change (LOL) 3. Be a good sport & play along (See Stephen Harper & This Hour Has 22 Minutes) 4. Retire & disappear

soooo crazy that everyone loves to called heated rivalry just "porn" but that straight hockey romance show has been out for a bit and no one is saying how it's just "porn" or Anything abt the sex it in. interesting

I loved the works of Terry Pratchett, and I admire a lot of the actors and crew of Good Omens. But Aziraphale demanding forgiveness without doing a single speck of amends is peak Gaiman, and he should not have been allowed anywhere near, even if it meant ending at season 2.
