## Resource

From Heated Rivalry and Off Campus to Shoresy and the wave of new hockey-inspired shows hitting our screens, it feels like hockey has officially entered its pop culture era. But why now? We sat down with branding, media, and pop culture expert Max Valiquette to unpack why these shows have become such massive cultural moments, why audiences are completely obsessed, and what hockey has that other sports don't. Whether you're a hockey parent, a Heated Rivalry superfan, or someone who's wondering why everyone on your feed suddenly can't stop talking about hockey, episode three in our Wide World of Hockey series breaks down the cultural moment everyone seems to be living through. Keywords hockey culture, pop culture, sports shows, media influence, identity, entertainment trends Key topics Hockey's influence in pop culture The appeal of hockey-related shows The role of gender and identity in sports media Hosted on Acast.
