‘Heated Rivalry’ Author Rachel Reid to Receive The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Canada Honor

Heated Rivalry author Rachel Reid is set to be honored at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Canada gala and summit on May 28.

Reid will receive the Changemaker Award at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto, while also participating in a feature interview on stage. She is best known for penning the Heated Rivalry book series that has been adapted into the popular Crave and HBO Max romance drama about gay hockey players.

“By championing new perspectives, elevating underrepresented voices and pushing boundaries through storytelling, Reid has helped to shape a more dynamic and forward-looking entertainment landscape,” the WIE Canada event organizers said in a statement on Wednesday.

Reid receiving the Changemaker honor is fitting as Heated Rivalry is part of the book author’s Game Changer series, which follows the steamy romance between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, played in the Heated Rivalry drama by Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, respectively.

Heated Rivalry season two will be released next year, and Reid will publish her seventh book, Unrivaled, in the Game Changers series in June 2027.

The upcoming third annual WIE Canada summit will again bring together the Canadian industry across TV, film and music to celebrate and recognize the achievements of women leading the industry forward. The all-day event is attended by top homegrown producers, actors, musicians and execs.

Reid joins earlier announced honorees Andrea Martin, Malin Akerman and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril and Stacey Aglok MacDonald. Additional honorees and speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

I don’t think it’s going to be any different this year. These early games in the season, you can look back later and realize how much they mean.”</p> </section><section id="section-4"> <p>Langeliers homered for a second consecutive night Tuesday, leading the A’s to a 5-2 victory as they remained a half-game ahead of the Texas Rangers atop the division race.</p> </section><section id="section-5"> <p>The Athletics will go for a sweep of their three-game series in Seattle on Wednesday afternoon.</p> </section><section id="section-6"> <p>Last season, the A’s went 6-7 against the Mariners, with 10 of those games decided by two runs or less. </p> </section><section id="section-7"> <p>This season’s series has started similarly, with the A’s winning 6-4 Monday.

So to me, it’s really about focusing in that two-minute stretch when you’re in the box. You want guys being competitive, being warriors in the box.</p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>“It’s a fine balance, right? We all know that we want to be doing better than we are, but at the same time, it’s not going to help anybody in this room by trying to press and go out there and do more, try to be ‘the guy.’ It’s happened before to good clubs. It’s more under a microscope because it’s the beginning of the season. I have faith in this group.”</p> </section><section id="section-15"> <p>The series finale is set to feature a pair of right-handers in the Athletics’ Aaron Civale (2-1, 3.54 ERA) and Seattle’s Logan Gilbert (1-3, 4.03).</p> </section><section id="section-16"> <p>Civale is coming off a 9-2 loss to the visiting Chicago White Sox on Friday in West Sacramento, Calif., when he gave up five runs on 11 hits over 4 2/3 innings.
