The new HBO Max and Crave series Heated Rivalry is going to be one of the most-talked about shows this year and fans are going to fall in love with lead actors Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.
The newcomers star in the gay hockey romance, based on the “Game Changers” book series.
Heated Rivalry chronicles the story of rival hockey players Shane and Ilya. Shane Hollander (Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Storrie) are two of the biggest stars in Major League 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.
The series features many graphic sex scenes between the two lead actors and you can expect to see a lot of skin.
