Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are two of Major League Hockey’s biggest stars, bound by ambition, rivalry, and a magnetic pull neither fully understands. What begins as a secret fling between two rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery. Created by award-winning writer, director, and producer Jacob Tierney and based on the best-selling Game Changers book series by Rachel Reid, the series stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie and features an ensemble cast including François Arnaud, Robbie G.K., Sophie Nélisse, Dylan Walsh, Christina Chang, and Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova.
