During the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television, Dan Levy Compared ‘Heated Rivalry’ Success to That of ‘Schitt’s Creek’.

“often those running the industry think they know what they want until a Schitt’s Creek or a Heated Rivalry comes along and are met with huge audience demand. Those are two shows that only exist because Canada saw value in them first, two shows that have people clamoring to make more shows like them; but the truth is, we don’t need more shows like them, we need more money being invested in queer voices, because we make you money.”

[Heated Rivalry News @heatedrivalnews]

Check, Please! author Ngozi Ukazu shared photos and comments about Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry, and the hockey panel they both participated in at BookCon on April 19, 2026.

"ngoziu: The number one question I’ve gotten for the last five months? “What are your thoughts on Heated Rivalry?” 😅 I made a gay hockey comic for seven years—it comes with the territory. Now, thanks to @ bookcon, I can say that I not only have thoughts on Heated Rivalry, but on the state of hockey romance as a whole. Meeting @ rachelreidwrites—the real-life human behind the hype—was an honor.

Highlights from this BookCon weekend:
- Discovering that Rachel Reid was an og Check, Please! Kickstarter backer. Girl! Not you helping me pay for my student loans while Obama was president??? Thank you! ..." (via ngoziu | instagram)
