There are few things that unite the gays like Heated Rivalry, and Calgary is no exception. The breakout show about a romantic relationship between two hockey players is taking Canada by storm, and the Calgary community is coming out in full force to celebrate.
In Canada, we sure love the best sport on ice, and Heated Rivalry is sitting at the convergence of hockey and LGBTQ+ culture. Here’s everywhere you can attend Heated Rivalry-themed events and connect with other fans. With special events and dance parties held over Valentine’s Day, you might even find your next flame.
Whether you’re team Ilya or team Shane, it doesn’t matter — the party in Calgary is just getting started.
