Heated Rivalry’s success has seemingly sparked an appetite for hockey romances such as Off Campus – whose leading lady once played a young Kate Middleton in The Crown

The unexpected popularity of Heated Rivalry, the 2025 Canadian romance TV series that launched its lead actors Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams to international stardom, has brought new attention to the world of ice hockey, and especially to the love lives of its players.
For fans eagerly waiting for Heated Rivalry’s second season, expected to be released next April, Prime Video’s latest romance series, Off Campus, may serve as a welcome distraction.

Premiering on May 13, the series is based on the first book in author Elle Kennedy’s bestselling series of the same name. It follows Briar University music student Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) who strikes up a fake relationship with hockey jock Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli) to draw the attention of her long-time crush. The book is one of many young adult romance novels beloved by #BookTok, TikTok’s community of readers.
