How Much “Heated Rivalry” Merch Is There? A Lot.
What do Pedro Pascal, Ayo Edebiri, Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper, and Prime Minister Mark Carney have in common? An affection for Heated Rivalry.
Aside from these celebrated supporters, the Crave series has also found fans in a slew of organizations across Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe: there are coffee shops, restaurants, fashion collabs, and — lest we forget — the cottage itself is available for rent.
Heated Rivalry‘s meteoric rise shot the two leading men to household name status; just last month, Connor Storrie hosted SNL while Hudson Williams starred in a Balenciaga campaign. In fact — though a television series and a two-part movie musical are entirely different affairs — Wicked‘s intense, two-year promo period is perhaps the closest comparison in recent memory. Only this time, the filming locations are quite a bit closer than Oz.
Without further ado, let’s explore the extended universe of Heated Rivalry right here in Ontario.
Barlochan Cottage (That’s the Cottage)

Perched on the shores of Lake Muskoka, Barlochan Cottage offers the peak cottage country experience. As the site of Heated Rivalry‘s much-loved sixth episode, viewers will already be familiar with the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed wood walls, and private lakeside dock. (You’ll have to bring your own tuna melt supplies, though.)

Announced in January, the Canadian-based label Province of Canada partnered with Accent Aigu Entertainment — the studio behind Heated Rivalry — to make Shane Hollander’s Team Canada fleece available for purchase. And, like the show itself, it’ll be made at home. “Producing the fleece in Canada was a shared priority,” said Julie Brown and Jeremy Watt, Co-Founders of Province of Canada. “We’re incredibly honoured to partner with the Heated Rivalry team to bring this fleece to life here in Canada.”
A Self-Guided Tour Through Hamilton

Before the world latched onto Jacob Tierney’s hockey romance, Hamilton hopped aboard the ship to supply several filming sites. Just a quick GO-Train ride from downtown Toronto, the city’s tourism branch has assembled an itinerary for Heated Rivalry enthusiasts; have brunch at Ciao Bella Hamilton (seen in episodes one and four) or hit up Relay Coffee for a banana-berry smoothie. Next, explore luxe filming sites like Liuna Station and finish the day with a themed cocktail (options include “Tall Dark and Hollander” and “Meet Me at the Cottage”) at the Le Tambour Tavern.
