It’s been a while since Heated Rivalry sent the gays, girls and theys into a frenzy. But with season two now filming, we’re revisiting one of the show’s biggest talking points: its sex scenes.

Based on Rachel Reid’s best-selling novel, the series follows hockey stars Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), whose fierce rivalry on the ice gives way to a secret, years-long romance off it.

Since its premiere, the show has captivated fans with its heartfelt writing, stellar soundtrack and, of course, the undeniable chemistry between Williams and Storrie. But its steamy sex scenes have arguably caused the biggest stir.

So, with season two on the horizon, we’re updating our ranking of Heated Rivalry’s hottest sex scenes so far. In the name of very serious investigative journalism, of course – and don’t worry, there are no losers here.

9. OG Game Changers make their mark (Episode 3)

In the third episode, focus shifts to New York Admirals hockey captain Scott Hunter and smoothie barista Kip Grady, played by François Arnaud and Robbie G.K. Following a series of meet-cutes at the Straw + Berry and a chance run-in at a fundraiser, the two go from vanilla banter to x-rated passion during a steamy hookup at Scott’s apartment. While the lighting is a bit dark for our liking (looking at you, HBO Max), the scene still oozes sex appeal thanks to Scott and Kip’s feral exploration of each other’s bodies.

The scene doesn’t rank higher on our list, however, because it doesn’t quite match the carnal intensity of the others.
