In a few moments, we can't stop with the steamy gay hockey drama Heat of Rivalry.
I keep wanting to cover it.
But can it actually change pro sports culture?
Or is the show just pretend progress and we're binge watching it anyways?
That is the discussion in a moment.
Hockey.
It's supposed to be about broken teeth and bad blood, not longing glances between men in the penalty box.
So what happens when a gay romance TV show melts the ice?
Is it cultural progress?
Is it a great show?
Is it both?
That's what we're going to discuss here with author and associate professor of health studies at Western University, Trina Orchard.
Trina, welcome to the show.
We are talking heated rivalry.
I finally finished it on Monday night.
It is a wholesome show.
It is a fun show.
It is a steamy show.
What did you make of it when you first saw it?
So it's safe to say that you're not a fan at all.
