We’re talking, of course, about the raging success of TV shows Heated Rivalry and more recently Off Campus - but it goes well beyond that and into real life. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll get you across the impacts of those shows on the sport and, as the current season of the North American competition comes to its conclusion, we’ll get you across one of the hardest sporting trophies in the world to win - the Stanley Cup. Watching: The gold medal game from the Winter Olympics in Italy earlier this year - Team USA v Canada. The Hughes brothers are a whole thing in the NHL - they made it onto Saturday Night Live after Jack Hughes scored the golden goal in overtime after being whacked in the face and losing teeth. Head to the last 5 mins of the game if you don’t want to watch it all. Watching: The TV series Shoresy… Before Heated Rivalry, Jacob Tierney was central to the comedy shows Letterkenny and Shoresy, which have ice hockey at their core. To set expectations, there’s not a lot of spicy content, but they are shows with a lot of heart that go to the ethos of the game… You can watch both of those for free on SBS.
