MILAN – Co-stars in the hit hockey romance TV series “Heated Rivalry” are set to join the torchbearers carrying the Olympic flame on their way to the opening ceremony of the Milan Cortina Games.
The organizing committee announced Thursday that Hudson Williams and Connor Storey will participate in the torch relay. The opening ceremony is scheduled for February 6.
The series, based on the “Game Changers” books, has enthralled audiences with the fictional story of a Canadian player and a Russian rival maintaining a decade-long secret relationship.
The first season became the number 1 series on HBO Max. Originally developed for the Canadian streaming service Crave, the show landed a distribution deal with HBO and has been renewed for a second season. It will be broadcast in Italy from next month.
