Heated Rivalry: Sky Atlantic airs steamy hockey drama adapted from Rachel Reid

Heated Rivalry is a steamy ice-hockey drama airing on Sky Atlantic that, Hollie Richardson wrote, has left Canadian and US audiences gasping for air.

Based on Rachel Reid’s smash-hit novel, the story follows Major League Hockey rivals Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie). Each is dealing with personal demons when they meet ahead of their first match, a moment that triggers an undeniable magnetic pull. They begin a secret fling in between games and press conferences that grows into a journey of yearning, love, ambition, denial and self-discovery.

The episode is listed at 9pm on Sky Atlantic. Richardson adds that “even if you’re not a hockey fan, this is one hell of a spectator sport.”
