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 😭).

Hudson Williams being so actively involved in all aspects of Shane Hollander down to the freakin' hairstyle is making me so emo. He's kinda one of the most passionate, dedicated actors there is and he gaf sooo much. Fans of any character he plays in the future will be so lucky. 😭😭😭 #HeatedRivalry

It’s rare for any one piece of culture to inspire as many reaction videos as ‘Heated Rivalry’ has, yet so much of this genre is about watching straight men become captivated with the story of two professional hockey players falling in love. #HeatedRivalry

Every half decade I get adopted by new parents. In 2015 it was Kyouhaba, in 2020 was Wangxian and in 2025 it's Hollanov. And all three ships are their authors' faves with HEA ending (albeit Kyhb is lowkey it's still implied endgame) so I'm always well-fed and never lose. 😌🫶

The Heated Rivalry craze is insane bc I'm getting Ao3 notifications from authors that I've been following for YEARS bc of their Wangxian/Kyouhaba/etc fics but are now uploading Hollanov fics 😌🚬

Still thinking about how ppl who never watched HR try to dismiss it as "the pay gorn hockey show", meanwhile the Hollanov episodes with very minimal to NO sex scene at all are two of the highest rated episodes in television history. 😌 #HeatedRivalry

The Heated Rivalry fandom keeps growing and stays so intense because the news is very depressing, the job market is the worst in years, and it's cold and dark outside. Why not disassociate from it all by rewatching clips and episodes of the sexy, well-shot hockey romance show with a happy ending?

“We were supposed to stand alone at the top, but we will always be there together. We will keep climbing until no one else can reach us, but it will always be together.” My fave #HeatedRivalry quote re: Shane & Ilya, perfectly encapsulating why I'm such a simp for this kind of dynamic. 😫 #hollanov
