‘Heated Rivalry’ fans can relive show scenes at downtown Hamilton locations

The hockey romance series “Heated Rivalry” has quickly gained popularity in the television world and now, Destination Ontario is encouraging fans to relive their favourite moments at filming locations, many of which are in Hamilton.

Heated Rivalry is an incredible show following the spicy romance between two professional hockey rivals Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.

The Pink Tunnel in Corktown is in the scene where Ilya delivers his emotional monologue in Russian when he’s on the phone with Shane. Fans have flocked to the location on Ferguson Ave. to recite some of the lines.

Connor Storrie who plays Ilya had to learn Russian for this role.

Storrie is from Texas while his Canadian co-star Hudson Williams is from Kamloops, B.C.

Another Russian location is at Dundurn Castle where Ilya is running during his off season and texting Shane while their romance ramps up.

Club Mansion is another scene in the show that fans likely recognized.

It is where the two see each other from across the room and have an intense stare down.

Other locations include Liuna Station, First Ontario Concert Hall and the Winchester Arms in Dundas.

The Crave series first premiered on Nov. 28th last year and had a record-setting launch, increasing viewership by 400 per cent.

The show has already been greenlit for a second season which could mean more cameos for Hamilton.

Shane and his parents eat at restaurant Ciao Bella a few times in the show.

The dead giveaway are the brown leather seats.

In the show, the family are talking about none other than his rival Ilya, who Shane is secretly seeing romantically.

In some scenes, you can see the judge in the background, right across the street.

The pair first meet outside a hockey rink but that’s actually outside Burridge Gym at McMaster.

Other campus gyms are also used for training montages with the two hockey stars.

Relay Coffee Roasters on King William St. is another notable spot, except in the show, it’s a smoothie shop called Straw and Berry.

This is where characters Scott and Kip meet and start to fall in love.
