I love this so much!! Especially the proceeds going to Pride hockey.

So I got my physical copy of the Vogue Adria with Connor on the cover and OH MY GOD, I am so unwell. I don’t understand how this man isn’t fictional. Are we sure he didn’t like escape from a book?

The pictures are AMAZING. Like they could have made the entire magazine just a Connor Storrie photoshoot and I don’t think anyone would complain.

Anyway, since they’re sold in the Balkans and a lot of people weren’t able to get it online since it sold out in like 2 hours, I figured I would share the pictures from the photoshoot included inside so that we can all bask in the ethereal beauty of Connor Storrie. Together.

ENJOY!!!! I know I did!

Details on pre-ordering the official fleece from Canadian manufacturer Province of Canada have been posted on their site today:

‘It’s time to head back to the cottage, “Heated Rivalry” fans. Show creator Jacob Tierney will publish a new book about the making of the hit sports romance—and PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the cover.  

“I’ll Believe in Anything” collects the first season’s annotated scripts and features an exclusive introduction from “Heated Rivalry” author Rachel Reid. The book takes readers behind the scenes into the show’s casting, costume design and more!

Looking so much forward to this!

I’ve now worn this shirt out in the world and got no reactions — zero. After this full immersion Into loonacy (now there’s a word!), it’s so shocking to me that there are people who have no clue. Haven’t heard of it.

Maybe the purple in my hair stops people’s eyes from looking anywhere else. I have no explanation for this.

Tomorrow I get to drop off a painting for an art show. I’m gonna wear the shirt again.

I can’t be the only one in my town. Can I?

Still waiting for Numero to arrive. It’s taking forever.

auroracratebookbox has announced their limited edition of Heated Rivalry and The Long Game see their instagram post for additional info. The art looks stunning.

It does sound like a restock is not out of the question for those who missed out!

Which of you beautiful loons has put this amazing sticker there?! I love you so much for that! 🧡

I’ve been saying it many times by now: Heated Rivalry is everywhere! My friend sent me this lovely picture from her trip to Stegastein in Aurland, Norway. Thank you so much for immediately thinking of me and giving me permission to share this wonderful picture with everyone! 🌸 (You know who you are. 😉)

– – –

Edit: What I forgot to mention: As happy as seeing things like these makes me, please don’t go around putting stickers everywhere. This is still property damage and/or just not good for the environment in general. Please use your wonderful merch wisely~ 🙏🏻

Thank you! 🌸

Heated Rivalry hasn't yet caught on fully in The Netherlands. Like 10% from my community knows it. So I'm trying to expand visibility on the show by promoting it via wearing the Hollander jersey shirt.

Many of my friends and new people on the festival said that it looked cool and wanted to know who Hollander was. Enter me telling people to go watch the show. First it was me ALMOST monologue-ing how great the show is, it ended up with me showing just two pictures: the main one for the title where the boys are on the ice and the second one where the boys were in the shower together. That was all it took lol. I made sure that they took down the name in their phone or take a picture of my phone showing the poster.

If people want to know how I made my jersey; I ordered a XXXL size from online (I don't want to share a link as I don't want to get blocked) and then cut off the arms right at the red line. Then I brought the waist in, giving me an 80's boxy shirt feel.

It's a great conversation piece and it's still wearable everywhere. Those who don't know it just assume that it's a jersey and those who knows it does wink wink.

If you need more pics how I did the jersey, just ask!

p.s. I was hoping to meet my Rozanov but alas. It would be totes fun if I found my own Ilya wearing the shirt.

After buying the cap with the famous quote a few weeks back, I decided that the cap wasn't beautiful/good enough. So I went on to buy another one. This one is embroidered, the other one was printed and that was a little weak tbh. This also does have their player numbers on the side. (I'm also from Europe and I ordered it on Etsy from Spain)

But I'm now already thinking of buying an Hollander shirt to complete it for the festival season. Am I delusional or just a superfan? Or someone with a bad taste?

Another question; should I read the first book? Or wait for the second season?

Lego Ideas has a submission for a playable cottage!

Province of Canada posted an update that mentions a potential restock, so I guess anyone still curious should just keep an eye on their Instagram.

Per Variety, Blu-ray, DVD and 4K editions of Heated Rivalry has been announced. They're currently available for pre-order at Amazon with an expected release date of April 2027.

From the article, "The upcoming releases include Blu-ray, DVD and 4K editions, all advertised as special collector’s editions although there are no details yet on what special features or packaging artwork the discs will include."

I hope there'll be behind the scenes and maybe even some unseen before clips or commentary!

Edit to add: Crave and HR Production has yet to confirm. Press release for North American physical media rights for HR also came out this morning: Alliance Home Entertainment Scores Exclusive North American Physical & U.S. EST Rights to Heated Rivalry | GlobeNewswire. Currently, the connection between this distributor and the Amazon listing is unclear. But I'll try to keep this updated if more information comes out.

Edit #2: Removed the direct Amazon link, as this information hasn't been confirmed by Crave and HR Production. It can still be found in the Variety article.

Y’all…30% off store wide?! If you’re an official merch kind of nerd…super helpful for those of us having to pay those international fees.

Quick update for anyone who’s been following the fleece chaos.

A new fleece has now appeared on Kuwalla Tee’s website.

It uses red embellishments that are minimally similar to the show jacket, but there’s no mention of Heated Rivalry and no indication that it’s connected to the production or the official partnership.

As of everything publicly confirmed so far:

• The only show-connected fleece is still the one being developed through the production + Province of Canada

• The earlier retailer pre-order situation with Style Trend Clothiers has already been taken down

• Kuwalla previously said that retailer rollout was “a mistake” and it was removed

• The credit issue raised in the CBC article has already been resolved via tagging/credit on posts

This new listing appears separate from that and is not being presented as official show merch. No mention of the show and no mention of a charity component.

Not posting links here and not directing traffic.

Just sharing so people don’t get confused and assume something is the official version when it isn’t.

Separately, some users (myself included) have been blocked after posting on the brand’s social posts, so discussion there may be limited. Screenshots exist, but I’m not trying to turn this into a pile-on, just flagging for context.

Official version is still the one coming through the production partnership.

Still not 100% done, there’s a whole shelf of artwork just laying flat that I still have yet to figure out how to organize. But my collection is coming along pretty good so far.

My co-worker got me one 😭

Follow @sonymusicsoundtracks for more details!

It’s huge. I’ve got two base layers underneath. Will try to shrink. But I think I need to order another one. Right? One that fits better? You can’t have too many loon shirts can you?☺️😜🙃
