There's this inside joke in the Canadian entertainment industry that everyone at some point in their career has pitched a hockey show

it's like a Canadian screenwriting right of passage, even writers who aren't that into hockey find they have an idea rattling around in their brain and try it

In spite of this it may surprise people to learn Canada went decades without a hockey show. it seems like such an obvious idea right? thats why writers kept pitching it and yet...it just never happened. the possible reasons why belong in another post but the fact is people have spent years and years behind the scenes in Canada trying to get a hockey show off the ground (ice?)

I cant emphasize enough how this is not hyperbole. like if you gathered a bunch of Canadian screenwriters in a room and threw a rock (please don't throw rocks at Canadians or screenwriters) you'd hit someone who pitched a hockey show, and relatedly someone who could never get that greenlight

The show that finally broke the curse? of all shows the Letter Kenny spin off Shorsey which Premiered in 2022

Which is what makes Heated Rivalry so bonkers insane funny to me

It took Canada so long to get a hockey show out of development hell that once we finally figured out how to do it and make it viable we were able to speed run past 100 years of institutional and internalized homophobia in the NHL and just skip straight to hockey yaoi

we sure are a real country, eh? you miss 100% of the shots you never take and sometimes you miss for so long the shots become gay or whatever Wayne Gretsky and Michael Scott said
